Hello Friend,
Do you have a favorite biblical story that you heard as a child and have not forgotten as an adult? Does the message from that story still resonate?
I sure do. It’s the story of the man who found treasure buried in a field he probably walked by every single day. Instead of trying to steal the treasure or just leaving it behind, the man sold everything he owned so that he could afford to buy the field and its secrets.
The idea of buried treasure captivated my young mind and to this day, I think about all the man was willing to sacrifice in order to obtain the immeasurable worth of that treasure.
You may not remember the specific title, and you may forget the Scripture references, but you will never forget that story and its inspirational message. Jesus knew this, and he was a masterful storyteller! His stories were called parables, from a Greek word meaning “to lay alongside of.”
And this is exactly what Jesus did—each parable He shared communicated bold, world-changing truth hidden in an example of everyday life. Much like that buried treasure, these truths are just waiting for us to take the time to uncover them.
That’s why I wanted to get you a free copy of The Parables of Jesus. This easy-to-read reference of 17 of Christ’s most important parables will equip you to make life-changing discoveries in these familiar stories.
Topics include salvation, faith and obedience, what matters most to God, and the end times!
