Parables get us to look at our lives from the back side. What do our lives look like from the outside? What do our lives look like from God's perspective?

​

In Genesis 3, we see that Adam and Eve sewed together fig leaves in order to cover up and hide from God. If we think that we are a little more sophisticated than that, think about all the ways that we hide today. We may not use fig leaves, but we hide in other ways.

​

We hide behind our jobs, our money, our 401k, our nice cars, our nice homes, etc.

We pretend that all is well with the world if we have all of our stuff. Humanity used to walk in the cool of the day with God without shame. Now, the story has changed. God wants to help all of us come out of that dark place - out of fear and shame, and into the fullness of what God has in store for us. Parables can help us do that. Listen for more!
