Abstract
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.
