Seeds, banquets, prodigals?

Fellow Labourers-

This article is about Jesus' use of parabolic arguments to challenge his audience. His method of persuasion was to use the familiar to introduce the heavenly. It seems as if after Jesus addresses his audiences they would get the 'AHA' experience. An experience that forces one to either accept or reject the offering. They that listened to Jesus were moved in the head and in the heart. Some were moved to resist him because they were jealous that Jesus who was so simple could be so powerful. Those that accepted him saw within simplicity the greatness of the man.

Seeds, Banquets, Prodigals? What does these have to do with heaven? Seeds die before they grow and so we must die before we can inherit eternal life. Prodigals are whom heaven was made for. They see themselves and find there way back home. Banquets, yes there will be rejoicing in heaven over one sinner that repents.

Pax Vobiscum
