Tuesday, April 02, 2002 Recently Discovered Parables of Jesus! There are three recently discovered new parables of Jesus along with a number of Kingdom of God similes. I will be publishing them in sequence day to day until they are complete. The Parable of the Wise King There was once a king of a great nation, who, because of the power, wealth, and luxury of his regency, feared finding honest stewards and successors to his throne. Having many wives, every time a child was born to him, he would have that baby raised by foster parents, rich or poor, with neither they nor the child knowing who the true father was. At a certain age, the king would meet and speak to his children who had grown up in diverse circumstances. Most of his children were fairly honest, hard-working, ordinary people content with their place in life and without greater ambition. These he rewarded with small gifts to help them in their lives and work. They went on their way without knowing who their true father was. Some of his children were dishonest, wicked, and hard-hearted. These he rebuked and told to reform their lives if they wished any benefit from him. Most of these rejected his advice and went on their way ignorant of who their true father was. A few of his children had troubled themselves to search for truth, wisdom, peace, and understanding in their lives. These he brought into his palace for further instruction. He made them princes and princesses of the realm with great duties and greater rewards, for they served exactly as the king intended they should. Although the king had fathered many children, only a few could claim him as their father. posted by Mark Butterworth | 4:04 PM | |
