The Parables of Jesus' Kingdom

Narratives in the form of Parables are articulated with great theological imagination, communication skills, and literary beauty. They are well-thought-out brief stories that use everyday life to convey a teaching and affirm ethical values and moral principles. And these narratives foster faith-based decisions that exceed the religious expectations of the time.

Through these Parables, it brings us closer to the Kingdom of Jesus of Nazareth and the priorities of that Kingdom. The conclusions from the study of the parables of the Kingdom of Jesus of Nazareth go beyond the enjoyment of the literary virtues of the narratives and surpass the appreciation of the prophetic message they articulate. The message of the parables challenges contemporary churches to continue this prophetic tradition in their programs and priorities. The values of the Kingdom should motivate male and female preachers to translate the virtues and challenges revealed in the message of the parables into contemporary messages and teachings that produce health, well-being, liberation, and hope in listeners.
