The Teaching of Jesus: Parables

Throughout His public ministry, Jesus was recognized as an extraordinary teacher who spoke with unparalleled authority. Of the many methods Christ used in His teaching, He preferred parables most of all. Jesus told simple stories to convey profound spiritual truths, revealing to His followers the mysteries of the kingdom of God while concealing its glory from His hard-hearted enemies. In this message, Dr. R.C. Sproul demonstrates the significance of Christ’s parables and provides us with helpful guidelines for understanding them.
