67. Why Did Jesus Speak in Parables? with Dr. Peter Gurry
Show Notes

Were the parables actual stories? Or were they just examples?

Friends, sometimes parables can leave us confused, but there is much to be learned from them. These stories use everyday life situations to teach valuable lessons.  The confusing aspect of the parables acts as a way to keep them on your mind. They are designed to get us thinking, and the more we think about them, the more revelation can come from them.

In today’s conversation with Dr. Peter Gurry, Director of the Text & Canon Institute, we dive deeper into the parables, what they mean, and who they are speaking to.  We learned so much from this conversation, and we believe you will as well!
