I have always loved stories, parables, mind pictures, analogies, and anecdotes as they usher in and pave the way to communicate and connect with the audience about the subject matter. It is through these lenses that we see the essence of the truth we try to communicate and connect. Jesus certainly set a great example for us to follow as He connected with His audience through the parables and stories that were relevant and applicable to their way of life. This devotional is my attempt to accomplish that. My prayer is that through it all, God be glorified and Jesus magnified.
