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.

CloseChristians believe God is real, but a lot of people won't believe unless they have verifiable proof. Which, they argue, doesn't exist. But what if it did -- just not in the form you were looking for? Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 3:11 that God has "set eternity in the heart of man," which means that we innately know that we are eternal beings. The only question left for us is whether or not we'll acknowledge it.
