When God stepped into time and clothed Himself in flesh, He took the name Jesus and chose to walk among us—not as a king in a palace, but as a humble man. In a world where people chase prestige, wealth, and titles, Jesus deliberately chose the lowly path. If given the freedom today, many would pursue the most glamorous careers, the highest salaries, and the loudest applause. But the Creator of the universe, the One who spoke galaxies into being, came down and took up the trade of a carpenter.
He didn’t enroll in the great universities of men. He didn’t sit under the tutelage of the so-called wise. And yet, His words confounded the scholars. The Pharisees, proud in their learning, questioned, “How does this man know so much, having never studied?” (John 7:15). They could not comprehend that the One who authored wisdom itself stood before them.
Jesus, fully God and fully man, experienced every stage of human life—from infancy to adulthood. He learned to speak, to work, to weep, and to rejoice. No one can say, “God doesn’t understand me.” He lived it. He felt it. He walked it. And in doing so, He shattered every excuse.
He humbled Himself—not because He had to, but because He chose to. And in that humility, He spoke the language of all people, not just with words, but with compassion, with truth, and with stories that pierced the heart.
Now, about parables:
A parable is a simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson. It’s like an earthly story with a heavenly meaning. Jesus often used parables to teach deep truths in a way that was relatable and memorable. He spoke of seeds, sheep, coins, vineyards, and weddings—everyday things that carried eternal significance
Jesus was the master of parables. In fact, the Gospels tell us that “He did not speak to them without a parable” (Matthew 13:34–35). He used them to reveal truth to those who were open-hearted, and to conceal it from those who were hardened. Parables invited listeners to lean in, to reflect, and to discover the mysteries of the Kingdom of God.
