In this episode, Arnie and Fred begin by discussing the parables that Jesus used to clarify and illustrate points in His lessons. We note that these parables appear over 50 times in the New Testament. The first one we look at has to do with repairing an old garment and Jesus relates this to the Old Testament and the New Testament. He then talks about new wine in old bottles, applying this to His teaching. He talks about a master who took a trip and gave responsibility to his servants to take care of his possessions. The need to be watchful servants in order to be ready when the master returns is emphasized. Jesus uses hidden treasure that is found in a field and what the discoverer did to teach a lesson on the value of the kingdom of heaven and what we should do relating to it. Many of the people Jesus taught were fishermen. Using nets to catch fish and the sorting that the fishermen do was used by Jesus to teach a lesson about the kingdom of heaven. The final parable that we discuss was about two debtors, a Pharisee and a woman who was a sinner. We talk about this parable at length. We complete this episode by noting what Jesus said to Nicodemus about being born again. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion.
