A father’s rebellious sonleaves home. A mandiscovers treasure hidden ina field. A woman pesters ajudge until he is willing tohear her case. A farmer fretsover storing his crop.Drawing from the commonexperiences of his hearers,Jesus told these and otherstories in such rivetingfashion that he easilycommanded a hearing. Butas this book shows, he had ahigher purpose than merelyto captivate his audiences.These parables weredesigned to move them fromthe everyday world to theeternal world and to presentthem with this good news:that all who truly receiveJesus as Lord and Saviourwill live with him in eternalglory.
