In the popular movie, “The Chosen,” Jesus tells one of his disciples that, if he is to follow Jesus, he better “get used to different.” Jesus spent his ministry presenting to others the way to live and love as God would have us. In many instances, Jesus’ words and deeds upset the applecart of traditional Jewish thinking. The parables of Jesus are examples of this. His listeners were invited to look at situations as God would, not as humans would. Join us as we remove the layers of meaning in some well-known parables that present a “different” viewpoint on life in God’s world, and perhaps “see” them through the eyes of the “players.”
