You can live for many years and sit through many sermons without ever really coming to an in-depth understanding of the parables of Jesus. If you want to serve and obey Jesus, you should endeavour to understand the fundamentals of these teachings of Jesus. In this, his twenty-seventh book, Matthew Robert Payne unpacks the parables for today and shows how you can live the life that Jesus promoted when he was on earth. This is the updated and expanded edition of the book he originally published in 2011.
This book was originally written in 2010, and when my mother edited it, she included some of her own personal doctrines and beliefs. In this edition, I’ve removed some of her additional comments. I also hired a less-than-suitable editor for the original book, and a lot of people complained about the quality of the editing.
It has taken me quite a few years to make changes to the original book. I made some major changes in the main text and then added a small update to each chapter.
I feel that a strong understanding of the parables of Jesus is integral to a solid relationship with Jesus and the successful Christian life. Many people have no idea what the parables mean and how they should impact our lives. I have done my best to explain the meaning of each one and how to apply them to life in the 21st century.
While I feel that I have been led by the Holy Spirit as I wrote this book and updated it, I humbly give this book to you for your consideration and your meditation, and I hope that you can glean some real help from it. It cost me a lot of money to republish this book, and I only did so because I was led by God in this endeavor. It is my prayer that you not only read this book but that you take it to heart and make changes in your life as a result.
