Jesus, the Master Teacher Preaching the Gospel Sermons Visual aids Questions Illustrations By example With parables Jesus, the Master Teacher

Parable Narrative from life A spiritual lesson parabole: “lit., denotes a placing beside” akin to paraballo, “to throw or lay beside” “Placing of one thing beside another with a view to comparison” (Vine) Narrative from life A spiritual lesson

Parables are not… Fables Myths Proverbs Animals and trees don’t talk (Jug. 9:7-15) Parables are true to life Myths Based on actual, daily happenings Proverbs Narrative without regard to length

Jesus and Parables Jesus was not the first to use parables (2 Sam. 12:1-4) Jesus is the only one recorded using parables in the New Testament His parables excel in wisdom, understanding and instruction (Matthew 13:3)

Why did Jesus Use Parables? Matthew 13:10-17 To teach (reveal) spiritual lessons Jesus did not use parables to intentionally hide truth from people Used them to reveal truth, Matt. 13:9-11, 34-35 (Psa. 78:1-4) The “Word” who is Truth, John 1:14-17 The “Light” of the world, John 8:12

Why did Jesus Use Parables? Matthew 13:11-15 What does Jesus mean, “to them it is not given?” (13:11) Some will not understand because they do not have “ears to hear” (13:9) Those with “ears to hear” understand the parables

Why did Jesus Use Parables? Matthew 13:11-15 Who does not have ears to hear? “Them” (13:10-13) Seeing (see not) and hearing (hear not) Do not desire truth…refuse it…because they believe they already have the truth! (13:14-15) Jno. 9:39-41; Matt. 11:25 Incapable of learning truth (Rom. 8:6-7) Hard heart will not learn (Jno. 8:43)

Why did Jesus Use Parables? Matthew 13:16-17 Who has ears to hear? Open minds and honest hearts Can and will learn the truth of the gospel (Jno. 7:14-17) Since hearts can be changed, Jesus used parables in an effort to open hearts to the gospel!

Understanding the Parables Matthew 13:15-23 Condition of heart determines whether the word of the kingdom is received, 13:15-17 (Mark 4:11-12) Spiritual state of Israel, Isaiah 6:9-10 Parable of the Sower is the key to understanding all the parables, Mk. 4:13 Because it describes how hearts react to the word of God, Mark 4:14

Understanding the Parables Matthew 13:15-23 Jesus explains the parable, 13:18-23 HEAR (akouo): Understand, perceive, attend to the parable Principles of parable interpretation (McGarvey): When Jesus gives the meaning it must be accepted as final and exhaustive (Luke 8:11) Only those points in the mind of the author have a place in the interpretation

Hear the Parable of the Sower Matthew 13:18-23 Sower sows the word (Mk. 4:14) Soil is the heart (Matt. 13:19) Wayside: Hard, closed heart Stony: Shallow, emotional heart Thorny: Over-crowded heart Good: Honest and good heart (hears, understands and bears fruit)

What kind of heart do you have? Do You have Ears to Hear? He who has ears to hear, let him hear! (Matthew 13:9, 18) What kind of heart do you have?
