The Parables of the Old Testament
The Parables of the Old Testament: Stories That Prepared for Christ
Jesus was not the first to teach with a story. Long before Him, a prophet caught a king with a tale of a poor man's ewe lamb, trees went out to anoint a king, and God sang a heartbroken love song about a vineyard. The Old Testament parables disarm the hearer and then land their point. Each page below opens one honestly and follows it to Christ, the master of the parable, who is Himself the true Vineyard and the good Shepherd the stories longed for.
