Parables of Jesus, The: A Guide to Understanding and Applying the Stories Jesus Taught – eBook

The mustard seed. The wineskins. The sheep and the goats. These and dozens more parables enabled Jesus to help his followers–then and now–grasp spiritual truth. R. T. Kendall, who for years preached from Martyn Lloyd-Jones's pulpit at Westminster Chapel in London, unwraps Jesus's simple stories one by one, uncovering profound meaning.
Readers will learn how parables safeguard the secrets of God, reveal his sovereignty, and actually survey salvation–from conversion, through the work of the Holy Spirit, to what happens to a believer at death. As readers begin to understand the purpose, promise, and paradox of the parables, they will get to know, in a new and fresh way, the One who told them. Two thousand years ago, as well as today, the parables enliven and enlighten the hearts of all with ears to hear.
