Shamgar is the third judge – right after Ehud and right before Deborah – but almost nothing is known about him. Why? Part of the reason is because there’s only two verses total about him in the entire Bible, but it could also be because we fail to appreciate what he did in his own time.

CloseNearly a third of Jesus' teachings consisted of stories, or parables. These seemingly innocent tales were not just given for entertainment though -- they were designed to penetrate the heart in a way a series of commands couldn't. They forced the listener to meditate on the teachings and make the change from the inside out. As such, they were exceedingly effective. Can we use parables today? Of course! Maybe not in the same way as Jesus, but using illustrations can still be effective if handled properly.
