PARABLE THEMES | A SPIRITUAL KINGDOM FOR ALL MANKIND

1. Parable Themes

a) As we look at the particular parables of Jesus, let's focus on the general themes that keep on recurring in those parables. Jesus might tell a new story to teach an old lesson. The parable themes are simple, yet they are at the heart of Jesus’s teaching.

2. A Spiritual Kingdom For All Mankind

a) Certain parables bring home the spiritual and universal nature of God's kingdom. The kingdom of God is not an earthly nation, but a heavenly kingdom for people of all nations.

John 18:36
36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.”

Matthew 24:14
14 This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
