Jesus Christ Parables

Jesus Christ told numerous parables as recorded in the New Testament of the Holy Bible.
According to the dictionary a parable is a story designed to teach a moral.
Ah, but they are so much more.
Depending upon the level of understanding a parable can be just a simple story
or an elaborate display of God's love for us.
As our understanding of God deepens so do new levels of understanding of his parables occur.
The following parables are beautiful expressions of God's love for each and every one of us.
Many of the parables in the book of Matthew are
repeated in slightly different versions and recorded by other disciples - in Mark, Luke or John.


Please feel free to add your knowledge to the parables listed here at Web-Ministry!

Post subject: The riddle
User Location: Utah
Parable: lazarus.txt

Jesus told the disciples on the road to Emmaus that all the scriptures spoke of him.

We should be particularly mindful of:

Eze 17:2 Son of man, put forth a riddle , and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;
Da 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences , shall stand up.

Jesus not only told the parable, but spoke a riddle in the parable. You have been discussing the parable. Let me share on the riddle. The riddles always speak of Christ. So we start with Christ as we parse the parable.

In every other parable of Luke, the rich man is Christ. We should not expect it to be different here. Christ is portrayed in the language of the riddles as prophet, priest, king and judge. In this riddle he is the judge since he wears purple. Yes. Kings wear purple also. But they wore it because Kings were judges as well.

After the judges, Samuel judged Israel, then he made his sons judges, bu they were evil. So the people asked Samuel to give them a king to judge them:

1 Sam 8:5 And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.

Gold is the color of the king, but he wore purple as judge. So the rich man is Christ as judge.

Fine linen represents burial clothes. Christ as judge died and was wrapped in fine linen. Before we go on, some will stop me and say that Jesus was not a judge. But John says his life was the light of the world, and that the light was condemnation. His perfect life condemns us and puts us to shame because he resisted sin when tempted in every way as we are. In the riddles, the judge must die to signify that judgment ends. In the same way, the prophet dies to signify that prophecies have all been fulfilled.

Now the name Lazarus means "whom God helps" and he also represents Christ but in the role of Priest.
Lazarus has the Hebrew equivalent name of Eleazer, who was the high priest. The narrative of the other Lazarus is a picture of the death of Christ and he is represented as a sick priest who then dies and rose again. This Lazarus is also sick. So we ask the riddle: In what way is Christ a sick priest? The answer is that while Jesus was alive he was an ineffectual priest because he was from the wrong tribe to be a priest. To be high priest, he had to die and be raised from the dead like the other Lazarus.

Jesus had 'emptied himself' of deity, and we call this kenosis. He partook of only a small portion of the bread compared to what he experience prior to the kenosis.

The dogs are the gentiles, and there is some word-play taking place that resolves to: they were separated by gleaning his wound. Christ's harvest began when living water poured from his pierced side, and the harvest included the gentiles which were gleaned.

When Lazarus dies he becomes fully the High Priest. As the rich man is tormented in death he typifies Jesus and cries out "Why have you forsaken me?" He receives no relief. This is the cry of the judge. There was no evil in Christ's judgment, why then did he have to die? So that judgment would end.

It is Christ as High Priest that sits at the right hand of God.

5 is the number of man in the riddles, 10 the number of the dual-natured man. So Christ as judge pleads and says he has brothers of flesh only who are likewise doomed and pleads that the Priest return to tell them. If Christ as priest had remained on earth, he would not be making intercession in heaven. Therefore Lazarus is not sent back.

Moses and the prophets are a sufficient testimony to show men that they are lost. And Christ in heaven is a sufficient priest to save them.

So we see a changing role for Christ as judge to Christ as Priest. Judgments cease. Judgment and grace cannot be mixed, so Lazarus cannot visit the rich man.

Pr 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

User Location: Armenia
Parable: secretseed

I can't believe this, I used to be a Michael Jacon fan and was shocked to hear of 3 celebrity deaths in such a short amount of time and I just read this article that Jackson did in fact have a pulse at one point.

Dr. Conrad Murray's lawyer is now saying that when Murray found Michael Jackson, he had a faint pulse.

Murray's lawyer, Edward Chernoff, says Murray went into Jackson's bedroom
and saw that he wasn't breathing. Chernoff told the AP, "He just happened to find him in his bed, and he wasn't breathing. Mr. Jackson was still warm and had a pulse."

Chernoff says Murray immediately began administering CPR.

Chernoff says Murray did not prescribe or give Jackson Demerol or OxyContin. Chernoff says any drugs Murray did prescribe were given in response to a specific complaint from Jackson.

Post subject: Free Vacation to Greece
User Location: Greece
Parable: secretseed

I was looking to go to Greece for a long time now but never got the chance. Now that the new museum of the Acropolis is open (and I hear that its incredible) I really want to go. But I only have 500 USD to spend and that is only enough for airfare.



I had talked to all my friends about this and they told me to go to Florida instead J. But that would also be expensive and I would not get to see all the ancient stuff in Greece. A month ago, a Greek American friend of mine told me of this incredible deal that is being offered where you get to go with one friend for free to Greece as long as you bring 5 other people each. I though this was a scam and did not believe it but sent a mail anyways to this company, www.vacancestravel.com. They seemed very decent and their clients were very impressive (Harvard, national geographic, the Smithsonian).



When they answer they mentioned this deal as my friend had told me. They actually provide all expenses to 2 persons (in a double room of course) if they get together 10 people to come with them. This was my chance to go to Greece for free (I had some frequent flyer miles so I spent nothing on the airfare). I got 6 of my friends and my college buddy got 5 more and we all went on the trip like a small reunion. I strongly recommend this trip if its your first time to Greece or if you haven’t seen the sites. Its 7 days and you get to see all the major sites with decent hotels and great food.



After this 7 days, we all went to Mykonos for 3 days were I treated my friends to dinners and drinks for their participation. Great party. If you want some tips, send me a mail at WEB LINK

User Location: Malaysia
Parable: secretseed

I have been looking for a summer villa for almost two years and I had almost given up because the market prices were falling and I was afraid to buy. Having spoken to a lot of people about this (both in the states and in Europe were I travel a lot for work) I found that the Greek islands and in particular the Ionian islands have not had a decrease in prices. And why was this? Because prices were low to begin with and they did not balloon to the rates of other countries such as Spain. In addition, I was thinking about Turkey which is even cheaper but its not as safe as its not in the EU and a muslim country. Looking at the Ionian Islands, Kefalonia and Corfu were already developed and very expensive. However I found that the Islands of Lefkada (Lefkas) was not expensive and it had a number of advantages. Firstly, it is connected to the mainland through a brigde so that there is no need to take a ferry to go anywere on the mainland. Secondly, it has tthe international airport of Aktio 45 minutes away and thirdly and most importantly, there is a very developed market of Villa rentals.



This third factor meant that I could purchase a Villa and pay off my mortgage with the revenue from renting. I calculated that in 5 years I could have paid off all my mortgage and start earning money. From research I did, I calculated that the total revenue for a villa with a pool per year would be from 30 to 40 K after tax and expenses. This means that a villa of 100 sq. meters with a pool near the seafront which in general costs 300K will be paid for in 5 years if you put up front 100K. And from there on, you have an income of 40K to 50K a year after tax (since I calculate that these properties will increase in value as there will be less and less as years go by. In addition, you are left with a villa which in 5 years from now will cost 500K. Not bad at all.



Having checked out the lefkada market, I found this company, www.cratusestates.com which builds villas with high quality materials (they used to build luxury villas in suburbs of Athens) and they gave me the option to pay less for the villa if I bought before construction. I was skeptical at first since I did not know what they built but the contract was very specific with materials and quality of construction and they gave me an almost 20% discount. I have bought one villa from them and its in the process of being built. If you are interested to have more details about this at WEB LINK



I am very excited about the prospects and you can never go wrong with buying land and summer homes at an underdeveloped area. I predict that Greece will become the Florida of Europe and prices of land and buildings outside Athens will skyrocket as more Europeans discover it.

Здравствуйте,

Хочу найти грамотного хостера, действующего на территории России и стран СНГ.
Но только не "дешевого" а реально работающего, но конечно не самого дорогого.
Проблема в том, что после того как выбрал хостинг, мой сайт перестал работать. Хостер заявляет, что у Вас, спам атака на сайт и прочую несуразицу.
Какая может быть атака на новый, никому не известный частный сайт.

Если есть надежный хостер, плз, сообщите об этом, можно в личку или по эл. адресу.

Спасибо.
