    God's Universal Love As It Is Expressed In The Parables Told By Jesus
    (Tangaza University College, 1998-02) Cordova, Roberto Perez
    When we realize that the parables are considered the master piece of Jesus' teaching and that they convey more accurately the mind and teaching of Jesus, one begins to wonder why Jesus said so and so Some writers say that Jesus spoke his parables to people in order to awake in them a new understanding of God. The new understanding of what the kingdom of God is all about In this paper we will analyze the way Jesus used the parables and then I will take some parables, after analyzing them according to the new scholars of Scripture, I will also look at them in a new context. Our context is today as we prepare ourselves for the Jubilee of Christ I will also treat the parables in a missionary context. The mission starts from the Father, and is conveyed to us by Jesus Christ. The Church plays an important role in this teaching ofJesus. I will speak of the parables from a universal and missionary point of view in which God offers, gives, demands and is always ready to ask for our response. We shall therefore realize that the parables are always a challenge to the hearer 'What do you say?' Each person must give his or her own response.
