A message from the series “Conversations With Jesus.” The second half of the upper room scene in John’s gospel is rich, comforting, and thick. It’s filled with grand expositions on the Trinity, encouragement concerning the Holy Spirit, and explanations about the coming persecution.
Oh, and the fact that Jesus is coming back. That’s pretty important too.

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.
