154 Third Lesson On Parables

Third Lesson On Parables THIRD YEAR—SUBJECT 47 Third Lesson on Parables

(READ LUKE 16)

We now examine the last thirteen parables as taught by the Savior while on earth. We know that they were most all proclaimed by him while at Jerusalem. As almost all the leading events in the life of Christ are involved in his miracles and parables, if we would desire to be familiar with his life work while on earth we can commence committing to memory the history of each miracle, the book and chapter where it is found, then take up the parables in like manner, and in a few weeks we will have the leading events in the life of Christ so stamped upon our memory that we can readily recall them all. Our twenty-fifth parable tells of the wedding feast. Then we read of the wise steward, of the barren fig tree, the great supper, the lost sheep, the piece of money, the prodigal son, the unjust steward, the rich man and Lazarus, the unprofitable servant, the unjust judge, the Pharisee and publicans, and the pounds. This closes the thirty-seven parables as taught by the Son of God.
