"The Stories He Told" (2)

June 24 2018, Ian Campbell - Jesus' main communication style was storytelling. The great truths he wanted us to understand were wrapped in story, sometimes delighting, sometimes baffling, but always capturing the attention and imagination of his audience. Just as we saw that John picked out Jesus' "I am.." statements so we see that Luke was particularly interested in Jesus' stories. He actually recorded 19 that are unique to him which we will ponder over the summer months. What was the individual and collective meaning of these tales? Luke 12.16-21 The foolishness of mortality as an afterthought may be the focus of Jesus' story about a farmer who had a good business plan but a poor life plan.
