1 DEFINE PARABLE Jesus the Christ Cards Many of the events of Jesus’ life, and many of the stories—or parables—that he told, took place in and around the simple homes in which ordinary people lived. Jesus used the parables to teach people about God in a way that they would understand and remember. His stories often reflected features of people’s everyday lives, such as farming, fishing, working in the vineyards, shepherds and their flocks, and other things that would have been familiar to them. They were definitely earthly stories with heavenly meanings. The parables of Jesus will always remain the very center and heart of the teachings of Christ. They summarize what Jesus thought and taught and lived. Good Samaritan Lost Sheep Prodigal Son Rich Young Fool Lost Coin

3 DEFINE MIRACLE Jesus and His servants used many special “signs”, “wonders” or mighty acts of God of supernatural means to fulfill the word of God. These were remarkable happenings beyond or contrary to the laws of nature, performed through divine power. The Bible always recognizes the power of God as the ultimate source of such events. Approximately one hundred such supernatural events are recorded in the Old Testament beginning with Creation itself (Gen. 1). Miracles in the New Testament were performed by Jesus and His Apostles, but they required faith, both to perform and to be benefited by. There are 35 miracles of Jesus recorded in the New Testament.
