Jesus is smart too

In a previous post I talk about how I think God is Smart (see
my post on that.)

But if you read the Bible you will easily see that Jesus is Smart too.


How was He Smart?


Because instead of just saying - This is how it is coming down folks - He
always told a story - and the people probably were always thinking Ok there
he goes again he's gonna tell a story.


These stories are called Parables.

Parables are little stories that are told in a way that you have to use your mind
some to get the meaning of them.


Jesus sometimes told Parables about Lawyers - even then people knew about
lawyers : ] .

In Luke 10:25-37 a Lawyer asked Jesus how a person can have Eternal Life.
And for his answer Jesus told the Parable that would eventually go down in
History as undisputably His Greatest Parable.

Jesus told Parables so that the people would have to think about it.  So that
later when they were thinking back - maybe later that day or the next one -
they might still be trying to figure out what Jesus meant and they might
even call up one of their friends and say - hey what do you think He meant
by that?




Pretty good huh?



Later I'd like to discuss a couple of my favorite Parables and I hope others will
talk about their favorite Parable too.
