The Ten Tenets of Way Anchor
PARABOLICAL
Luke 8:9-10 “And when his disciples asked Him what this parable meant, he said, “To you has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God, but for others they are in parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.”
Jesus spoke in parables so that those who didn’t know God could understand. In order to communicate with others, we need to know about them and the things that they understand. As travelers, everything we learn about other cultures helps us relate to all people. This includes learning about history as well as current events, language, food, customs, and even other religions. You can’t relay an idea to someone using a parable that only you understand.
