Stories are an awesome way to share Christ’s teachings with others. We know this because Jesus did it all the time. The Gospels are filled with all kinds of wonderful parables that Jesus shared – and many of them are perfect for sharing with others! With that in mind, here’s your REAL Challenge for the week:
Choose a Bible parable, learn it, and share it!
Even the prophets in the Old Testament new that the Messiah would teach with stories. Here’s what Matthew’s Gospel said about why Jesus told parables: This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet: “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world.” ~Matthew 13:35
Stories worked for Jesus and they can work for us too!
