JAC's Bible Teaching

In this final tall in the series, we look at the parable in Matthew 5:15–16, the common proverbs cited by Jesus in Matthew 12:25–28 and in Luke 4:23, and then we consider two things that God brought about in the Old Testament that Paul, in Hebrews, labels as "parables."

In this talk, we examine three parables: (i) The Parable of a Shepherd Looking for a Lost Sheep (Matt. 18:12–14), (ii) The Parable of a Father's Love for His Son (Luke 11:11–13), and (iii) The Parable of the Same Pay for Different Amounts of Labor (Matt. 20:1–16).

In this talk, after answering a possible objection to the way I interpreted the two parables we looked at in the last talk, we look at three more parables: The Parable of the Slave in Charge of Rations (Luke 12:42–48 and Matthew 24:45–51), the Parable of Salt That Has Lost Its Saltiness (Matthew 5:13), and the Parable of the Log in One's Eye (Mattthew 7:3–5 and Luke 6:41–42).
