Muchos cristianos están confundidos sobre la necesidad de estudiar la Palabra.
Piensan que es algo así como una opción, algo que haces si eres especialmente religioso.
Pero ése no es su propósito en absoluto. Está destinada a aquellos que quieren descubrir el significado de la vida.
Debería interesar a todos en todas partes. Esa es la naturaleza de la Palabra de Dios.
The parables are very exciting and challenging portions of Scripture. They are like mystery novels; there is always something secret about them, something hidden; thus they are enticing, challenging. There are clues given in each of the parables to lead us to the meaning of it. This is God's way of stimulating us to investigate and discover a hidden truth which will be a real treasure to us, enriching our lives in fantastic ways when we act upon it. The study of the parables can be as exciting as reading a mystery novel -- even more so -- because you are always involved in the parable and there is a treasure to be found at the end.
