What are the parables of Jesus Christ? The word parable in general can mean the placing of two or more artifacts together to make a comparison or explain an ideology. This same concept could be linked to the parables of Jesus Christ, son of God. Some people may choose to define them in different ways based on their own understanding. However, in my opinion, a parable is fundamentally an analogy consisting of human circumstances accompanied by a spiritual or biblical lesson. In total there are thirty-two parables; which we find in the books of Matthew, Mark and Luke. Of all these parables, eighteen are found in Luke and ten in Matthew. The eighteen parables found in Luke include the lost coin, the lost son, the unjust steward, the rich man and Lazarus, the useless servants, the unjust judge, the Pharisee and the tax collector, the pounds, the two debtors , the Good Samaritan, the Friend at Midnight, the Rich Fool, the Watchful Servants, the Barren Fig Tree, the Chief Seats, the Great Supper, the Reckless Builder and the Reckless King. The ten in Mathew include the workers in the vineyard, the two sons, the marriage of the king's son, the ten virgins, the talents, the tares, the hidden treasure, the pearl of great price, the drawing net and the ruthless. Servant. Again, the parables of Jesus Christ could be compared to a class of students with a teacher in front. Basically, Jesus Christ was the teacher and the whole world would be considered the student. Among all the parables of Jesus Christ, the main ones I will talk about will be the parable of the Good Samaritan and the parable of the sower. Firstly, the parable of the Good Samaritan was spoken by Jesus Christ and can.. .... middle of article......the lie resides in his heart. In conclusion, my main reason for choosing these two parables was because we can compare and contrast these two lessons that these parables teach. In the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus talks about love and how it leads a man to salvation. On the other hand, some people will interpret this in a different way and think that doing good things for people will bring them salvation. Therefore, people like this will be good not from their hearts but because they must do so in order to be “saved.” The second parable, that of the sower, tells us that man's salvation truly lies in his heart. God knows our hearts and therefore no one in this world is too holy for one another; or no one is more sinful than the other because all our actions in this world will call for the judgment of humans but it is only God who can judge.
