A message from the series “Toolbox for Evangelism.” Nearly 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.

CloseJesus' parable of the wedding feast is very practical, mostly because it goes through the human emotions that we all struggle with: rejection, disappointment, and anger. Spiritually speaking, our rejection of Jesus' invitation to His feast can be eternally fatal. Why we reject it is up to us, but the fact remains that no matter where you come from, there is always room at the table for you.
