David and Goliath

The Ten Lepers

Jesus is going to Jerusalem to die. As he cleansed the lepers of their unclean status so he cleanses us from our sin through his death.

The Good Samaritan

Jesus teaches us to think what more can I do rather than do I have to.

The Transfiguration

Christ is true God and the only way to the Father

Jesus Feeds the 5000

Jesus gives the people bread just as Moses did. The purpose was so that they would recognize Him as the one foretold and would look to Him to be saved.

We see in this parable a warning against two attitudes both of which are sinful. On the one hand the sinful, wanton wastefulness of the younger son which indulges in sin is contrary to God’s word. On the other hand the puritanical attitude of the elder which despises all fun and even despises other sinners.
