'''[[Jesus]] ''' often taught using illustrations and stories - [[parable]]s. His parables often tell of the kingdom of [[God]] and the nature of God. Sometimes the meaning is clear, at other times it can seem hidden.

The word "parable" is derived from the Greek word [[Παραβολη]] (''[[parabole]]''). It can be used to refer to stories that make a point (like the Good Samaritan), stories that are allegories (like the parable of the Sower) or simple statements.

The [[Greek]] word "[[Παραβολη]]" has a wide meanings. It can be used for riddles, stories, or comparisons.

There are differences of opinion as to what actually constitutes a parable. What one person considers a parable, another may not. Some theologians class Jesus' parables into 1 of 4 general types

* Similitude

** Example: Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed ([[Matthew 13]])

====[[The Prodigal Son]]====

The Parable of the Prodigal Son is one of Jesus' most well known parables. The story is found in [[Luke 15]]:11–32, being preceded by [[The Lost Sheep]] and [[The Lost Coin]]. It is the story of a son who dishonours his father and squanders his fortues and returns home in disgrace to his father but is welcomed with arms open wide and [[forgiveness]]. A central theme of the story is that God is like the Prodigal son's father - full of mercy and love and forgiveness.

====[[The Good Samaritan]]====
