Parables

"Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables.." matt 13:34

Parables are not understood by everyone. He who has ears, let him hear..
Allegorical truth tends to transcends space and time, speaks universally regardless of culture or language. It speaks the richness akin to the beauty of a poem, the picturesque scene, the nostalgia of an aged worn photo, the breath-taking exhilaration, the familiarity of belonging, the captivating of beauty..

Yet, all such awe and wonder encapsulated in such sheer simplicity can confound the brilliant and the brightest of the Pharisees , yet speaks life to the unlearned. Many will hear but not all will understand and take them to heart. His parables, woven in intricated simplicity, portray an irony that can be unraveled once we truly understand the matter of His heart.

Let our life stories be seasoned in grandeur in our living and life itself, yet child-like in its discourse & treatment. In such, embodiment of truth can be gleaned off the powerful beacon of hope & light of simple parables in our life..
