What is a parable? According to D. Stein “Parable” is the standard translation of the Septuagint for the Hebrew word marshal. In the parables listed in the book of Luke all shared a unique meaning.
These parables aim to teach a series of lessons for all Christians to expound and explain to others. People have discussed their views about the narrative of Luke. Some have said the book of Luke has a great desire to advance the kingdom of God. Then others have said that because Luke shares valuable information, Luke has an intention to share his spiritual condition. When we look closer to the book of Luke we notice it is remarkable. Jesus has comment on a certain parable. He said, “Just so, I tell you, there is joy before one sinner who repents”. …show more content…

If the unjust judge grant access to the persistent lady how much more would God grant access. By his generous quality we see the kingdom of God displays his loving nature. The fact that the unjust judge did grant access, the kingdom of God has kindness. The parable of the mina focuses on getting across the danger of laziness and unproductivity. Judging by the parable, the kingdom of God is all for productivity. This parable is shown purposefully to make people aware to avoid laziness and slothfulness. God is a God of results. Therefore the kingdom of God is against slothfulness but for advancement. In conclusion, we know symbolically the banquet in Luke 14 stands in representation of the kingdom of God. In the passage, the king sent out servant to invite those to come in the kingdom to get the blessings but all declined. Therefore the king ordered for the poor, blind, cripple, and lame to come in the kingdom.
We carry the belief that those who decline were considered the Jews and the poor, blind, cripple and lame were Gentiles. As Gentiles we were poor, blind, cripple and lame, but now we are added to the family of God and is fully restored. When Jesus added us to the family and we now experience

In the opening of the sermon an analogy is stated between the ability of a person to crush a worm with the ability of God to cast his enemies to hell (First Paragraph). This supports the main idea of how God is a superior being, able to freely decide people’s fate. The author’s persistent imagery of Gods abhorrence towards sinners is continually mentioned as a form of repetition, to cause a vivid depiction of Gods wrath in the audience’s perspective of him. This is illustrated when it’s stated how unconverted men walk over the pit of hell and how God has unsearchable ways of taking wicked men out of the world (Paragraph 3). He also introduces a metaphor where he associates Gods wrath as a bent bow with an arrow aiming towards your heart; this again typifies Gods supremacy to take away sinners existence unless they convert (Paragraph 6).

So if you are not putting forth your best work and putting forth all your effort, then you might not receive what you wanted. At the end of the verse it says, “For, with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.’’ What I believe the end of this verse is saying is, that whatever you judge people with as a person, then you will be judged back the same. If you are not putting forth your best effort to make something work or to do your best, then you won't get the result that you were allured

It is also important to note that Luke took a rather more mindful way to writing his gospel because he was writing to a more educated audience (particularly throughout Greece). In view of the fact that he was addressing a more knowledgeable society, there were a lot more political and cultural concerns present throughout his gospel.

Much like how Aeneas put his life in danger to protect his city and rescue his family from Troy, Jesus teaches self-sacrifice, and one’s commitment to their family however, he reinterprets the definition of family and society. Jesus declares: “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me………..and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me” (Matthew 10: 37-38). Jesus redefines family to be his disciples that devote their entire lives to God. He refines the ideas of society through the Beatitudes by proclaiming the “blessed” which is the model discipleship. The Beatitudes are part of Jesus’ teachings on paving a path to Heaven through selfless acts and compassion; he quotes: “let your light shine before other, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your father in heaven” (Matthew 5:
