I don't even know if it's part of the Pacesetters series, but read a book (can't remember the title again) and main character was a Kenyan Wanyonyi Wafula who was too shy to date a Somalian girl or so. That's all I can remember now. Can you help me if it's part of the Pacesetters series? |

Jesus spoke to them in parables because parables, just like your dreams, stick easily to the human mind more than a good long sermon. A parable was the simplest thing they could understand. Parables and dreams paint a picture of an idea in your mind, and both are different ways God speaks also. So the idea, I think, was to keep a picture in your mind, so that the Holy Spirit gives the meaning. Remember, He said His words are 'spirit and life. " Therefore only the Holy Spirit in you can "shine the light" or reveal the spiritual content of His spiritual words, which your natural self can't grasp. When Peter identified Him as Christ, He knew and said that only the Holy Spirit revealed it to a man like Peter. His disciples did not even understand some of the parables. So He promised them the Holy Ghost. So, I think He (Jesus) painted the picture or planted the seed of the word in their hearts as simple parables, so that the promised Holy Spirit will "remind" them(of His words/parables even after He had ascended to the Father), "reveal" to them all things, including the parables. |
