Devotion for March 4 - Jesus, the Communicator

Mark 4:33-34
With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it; he did not speak to them except in parables, but he explained everything in private to his disciples.


Jesus was the great communicator.
The truth was given as they were able
to understand and apply to their lives
through the technique of the parable.

The parable is so very complex.
It opens truth little bit at a time.
And when we continue our deep study
it leads to lessons that are sublime.

I’ve studied them for over fifty years
and preached them on many occasion
to many different congregations
in an attempt at real persuasion.

When I try to bring one out to preach
and study it from every perspective
I find that God gives guidance to me
to find an exciting new reflection.

Why not read one of these stories yourself
and look at it for something brand new?
You don’t have to be a theologian
to find truth that is helpful for you.
