What's Your...

...favorite story or parable that Jesus told?

Which do you like the best and why?

For me it has to be the story of the lost son in Luke 15. I need to be reminded that God is always there for me - even during my major screw ups.

I love the way the father runs to love and forgive.

I like the parable of the Good Samaritan because Jesus' uses it to challenge me about who I ought to be embracing.

The hero of the story (and my neighbor) is the wrong race and the wrong religion to Jesus' first hearers.

Most religion seeks to divide people and keep the wrong sorts out.

Jesus' Kindgom is supposed to be about erasing our dividing lines and tearing down our walls that keep people away from God and away from us.

And God knows I need that.
