Second Lesson On Parables THIRD YEAR—SUBJECT 46 Second Lesson on Parables (READ Matthew 25)

We begin this lesson with the thirteenth parable of our Lord. He illus¬trated to the Jews their work as compared with the work of the Gentiles. The Savior then represents them under the head of a wicked husbandman. He then talks of the marriage feast, tells of the ten virgins waiting for the bridegroom, of the slothful servant, of the sheep and goats, of the seed secretly growing, of the householder, the two debtors, of the good Samaritan, and of the friend at midnight, of the rich fool. In these twelve parables almost every shade of practical life is covered, 60 no ene could have an excuse to say, "His lessons did not apply to me."
