A Short Bible Study on the Mysteries of Jesus


Here follows a Bible Study on the many parables as told by Jesus. Through our search, we will find, that the investment of time will pay great dividends to our spiritual life.

In order to get the most out of this lesson, reflect upon your answers and internalize them, that is to say, make them a part of your daily life. There are great gems and precious jewels to be found in the parables of Jesus as you will see. Therefore, "Hang in memory's hall the precious words of Christ. They are to be valued far above silver or gold."

Study Methods and Characteristics of Jesus' Parables

  1. The Greek word parabole means "putting things side by side." In other words, it means "to compare one thing with another." A parable is a symbolic story whose purpose is to convey one central lesson. The individual details of a parable are important but only insofar as they point to the central truth.

  2. Many of Jesus' parables were not original with Him. The rabbis of Christ's day were actually prolific parable tellers. We shall find the Jesus occasionally employed the rabbis' stories but gave them an unusual and unexpected twist.

  3. Most of the parables of Jesus are multidimensional. That is to say, his parables have a local personal dimension and a broader universal dimension. Two good examples of this dual meaning of parables can be seen in the story of the Good Samaritan and the parable of the Lost Sheep.

  4. It is important to remember that Jesus employed three types of parables: (1) Verbal parables, (2) Acted parables (such as the cursing of the fig tree), and, (3) Miracles. It is frequently overlooked that the miracles of Jesus were not only performed to relieve physical suffering but also to teach deep spiritual truth. This can be seen, for example, in the healing of lepers, blind people and paralytics. It can also be seen in the feeding of the 5000 thousand, miraculous fishing expeditions and the calming of storms. The woman who touched Jesus' robe is a prime example of a physical healing with deep spiritual implications.

  5. Bear in mind that some of Jesus' parables are found in more than one Gospel. In order to get the full picture, it is necessary to study the parable each time it appears.

  6. It would be well to remember also that each parable has a very important historical and textual context. It is imperative to carefully study the events which transpired before each parable was told.

  7. Don't forget that Jesus not only referred to events, people and things which surrounded Him but He also frequently picked up on themes which are found in the Old Testament. We must therefore include the OT in our examination of the parables.

I - Jesus' Use of Parables
1. In which way was Christ's parable teaching similar to His own mission? "Christ took our ____________ and dwelt among us. Divinity was revealed in humanity, the invisible ___________ in the visible human form. Men could learn of the ____________ through the __________; heavenly things were revealed through the ___________ . . . . So it was in Christ's _____________ . . . ." [COL, 17] Quote page 17: "In Christ's parable teaching the same principle is seen as in His own mission to the world. That we might become acquainted with His divine character and life, Christ took our nature and dwelt among us. Divinity was revealed in humanity; the invisible glory in the visible human form. Men could learn of the unknown through the known; heavenly things were revealed through the earthly; God was made manifest in the likeness of men. So it was in Christ's teaching: the unknown was illustrated by the known; divine truths by earthly things with which the people were most familiar.
The Scripture says, "All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; . . . that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world." Matt. 13:34, 35. Natural things were the medium for the spiritual; the things of nature and the life-experience of His hearers were connected with the truths of the written word. Leading thus from the natural to the spiritual kingdom, Christ's parables are links in the chain of truth that unites man with God, and earth with heaven."
[COL, 17]
Notes:
2. Which OT prophecy predicted that Jesus would speak in parables?
The answer is ___________________ predicted that Jesus would speak in parables. (Read also Mark 13:34,35 and then check the marginal references in your Bible. Be sure to study the entire background chapter in the OT.
We read, "I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old." Psalm 78:2.

4. Why could Jesus employ the lessons of nature so effectively?
"In His teaching from nature, Christ was speaking of the things which His own ____________ had made, and which had qualities and powers that He Himself had ______________ ." [COL, 18]
Quote of page 18: "In His teaching from nature, Christ was speaking of the things which His own hands had made, and which had qualities and powers that He Himself had imparted. In their original perfection all created things were an expression of the thought of God. To Adam and Eve in their Eden home nature was full of the knowledge of God, teeming with divine instruction. Wisdom spoke to the eye and was received into the heart; for they communed with God in His created works. As soon as the holy pair transgressed the law of the Most High, the brightness from the face of God departed from the face of nature. The earth is now marred and defiled by sin. Yet even in its blighted state much that is beautiful remains. God's object lessons are not obliterated; rightly understood, nature speaks of her Creator.
In the days of Christ these lessons had been lost sight of. Men had well-nigh ceased to discern God in His works. The sinfulness of humanity had cast a pall over the fair face of creation; and instead of manifesting God, His works became a barrier that concealed Him. Men "worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator." Thus the heathen "became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened." Rom. 1:25, 21. So in Israel, man's teaching had been put in the place of God's. Not only the things of nature, but the sacrificial service and the Scriptures themselves--all given to reveal God--were so perverted that they became the means of concealing Him."
[COL, 18]

5. What was the original purpose of the created order? "In their original perfection all created things were an expression of the ______________ of God." [COL, 18] Click here for the p. 18 quote.
Notes:
6. What striking difference did the people see between Jesus' teaching and that of the Scribes and Pharisees? "And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were ______________ at His teaching, for He taught them as one having _______________, and not as the scribes." [Matth, 7:28,29] Click here for this quote on page 18.
Note:

II - Sin's Effect on Nature

1. How did the entrance of sin into the world affect the lessons of nature? "As soon as the holy pair transgressed the law of the Most High, the ________________ from the ________ of God departed from the face of nature." [COL, 18] Click here for the page already posted.
Note: In other words, the transmitter was damaged. Nature now spoke imperfectly about God. While it still revealed a God of love, it also revealed the contrary principle of evil.
2. Were the lessons of nature totally obliterated as a result of sin? "The earth is now _____________ and defiled by sin. Yet even in its ______________ state much that is beautiful remains. God's object lessons are not _____________; rightly understood, nature speaks of her Creator." [COL, 18] Click here for the page already posted.
Notes:
3. What happened with the mind of man as a result of sin? "In the days of Christ these lessons (from nature) had been lost ___________ of. Men had well-nigh ceased to ______________ God in His works." Paul says that men "became ___________ in their _________________, and their foolish heart was _______________." [COL, 18; Romans 1:21] Click here for the page already posted.
Notes: Not only was the transmitter damaged; the receiver was also damaged. Man's unaided mind could not longer read God's lessons in nature correctly.
4. How is the veil of sin removed from nature and from humanity? "Christ sought to remove that which _______________ the truth. The veil that sin cast over the face of ______________, He came to draw aside, bringing to view the spiritual glory that all things were created to ___________." [COL, 18-19] Quote of page 18-19: "Christ sought to remove that which obscured the truth. The veil that sin has cast over the face of nature, He came to draw aside, bringing to view the spiritual glory that all things were created to reflect. His words placed the teachings of nature as well as of the Bible in a new aspect, and made them a new revelation.
Jesus plucked the beautiful lily, and placed it in the hands of children and youth; and as they looked into His own youthful face, fresh with the sunlight of His Father's countenance, He gave the lesson, "Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow [in the simplicity of natural beauty]; they toil not, neither do they spin; and yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." Then followed the sweet assurance and the important lesson, "Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?"
In the sermon on the mount these words were spoken to others besides children and youth. They were spoken to the multitude, among whom were men and women full of worries and perplexities, and sore with disappointment and sorrow. Jesus continued: "Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (for after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your Heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things." Then spreading out His hands to the surrounding multitude, He said, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matt. 6:28-33.
Thus Christ interpreted the message which He Himself had given to the lilies and the grass of the field. He desires us to read it in every lily and every spire of grass. His words are full of assurance, and tend to confirm trust in God."
[COL, 19]
Note:
5. What two books are to be used side by side in the science of education? "The book of ____________ is a great lesson book, which in connection with the ________________ we are to use in teaching others of His character, and guiding lost ___________ back to God." [COL, 24] Quote of page 24: "So through the creation we are to become acquainted with the Creator. The book of nature is a great lesson book, which in connection with the Scriptures we are to use in teaching others of His character, and guiding lost sheep back to the fold of God. As the works of God are studied, the Holy Spirit flashes conviction into the mind. It is not the conviction that logical reasoning produces; but unless the mind has become too dark to know God, the eye too dim to see Him, the ear too dull to hear His voice, a deeper meaning is grasped, and the sublime, spiritual truths of the written word are impressed on the heart.
In these lessons direct from nature, there is a simplicity and purity that makes them of the highest value. All need the teaching to be derived from this source. In itself the beauty of nature leads the soul away from sin and worldly attractions, and toward purity, peace, and God. Too often the minds of students are occupied with men's theories and speculations, falsely called science and philosophy. They need to be brought into close contact with nature. Let them learn that creation and Christianity have one God. Let them be taught to see the harmony of the natural with the spiritual. Let everything which their eyes see or their hands handle be made a lesson in character building. Thus the mental powers will be strengthened, the character developed, the whole life ennobled."
[COL, 24b]

III - The Purpose of Parables

1. What was Jesus' intended purpose in using parables? "The veil that sin had cast over the face of _______________, He came to draw aside, bringing to view the _______________ glory that all things were created to reflect. His words placed teachings of ______________ as well as of the _____________ in a new aspect, and made them a new revelation." [COL, 18-19] Click here for the p. 18-19 quote.
Notes:
2. Why did Jesus choose parables as his preferred method of teaching? "By connecting His teaching with the scenes of __________, experience or ____________, He secured their _____________ and impressed their hearts. ______________, as they looked upon the objects that illustrated His lessons, they recalled the words of the divine Teacher." [COL, 21] Quote of page 21: "Jesus desired to awaken inquiry. He sought to arouse the careless, and impress truth upon the heart. Parable teaching was popular, and commanded the respect and attention, not only of the Jews, but of the people of other nations. No more effective method of instruction could He have employed. If His hearers had desired a knowledge of divine things, they might have understood His words; for He was always willing to explain them to the honest inquirer.
Again, Christ had truths to present which the people were unprepared to accept or even to understand. For this reason also He taught them in parables. By connecting His teaching with the scenes of life, experience, or nature, He secured their attention and impressed their hearts. Afterward, as they looked upon the objects that illustrated His lessons, they recalled the words of the divine Teacher. To minds that were open to the Holy Spirit, the significance of the Saviour's teaching unfolded more and more. Mysteries grew clear, and that which had been hard to grasp became evident.
Jesus sought an avenue to every heart. By using a variety of illustrations, He not only presented truth in its different phases, but appealed to the different hearers. Their interest was aroused by figures drawn from the surroundings of their daily life. None who listened to the Saviour could feel that they were neglected or forgotten. The humblest, the most sinful, heard in His teaching a voice that spoke to them in sympathy and tenderness."
[COL, 21]
Notes: Jesus employed a living power point presentation. He knew that a picture is worth a thousand words!
3. Why did Jesus employ illustrations? "By using a _____________ of illustrations, He not only presented truth in its different phases, but appealed to the different hearers." [COL, 21] Click here for the p. 21 quote.
Note:
4. What process did Jesus frequently follow as He told His parables? In the parable of the lilies of the field, Jesus first "_____________ the beautiful lily . . . . Then followed "the sweet ___________________" and the important _______________." Finally, He spread His hands and made a call to the multitude, uttering the well known words found in _______________________. Matthew 6:28-34; Luke 12:27-31; 1.Kings 10; Click here for page 19 already posted.
Note: It is obvious that the parables of Jesus were not meant to inform. Their main purpose was to lead the people to make a decision in favor of His kingdom.

IV - Concealing and Revealing

1. Why were the parables of Jesus meant to conceal as well as to reveal? "He presented truth in such a way that they could find nothing by which to bring His case before the Sanhedrin. In parables He _____________ the hypocrisy and wicked works of those who occupied high positions, and in _______________ language clothed truth of so cutting a character that had it been spoken in __________ denunciation, they would not have listened to His words, and would speedily have put an end to His ministry." [COL, 22] Quote of page 22: "Jesus sought an avenue to every heart. By using a variety of illustrations, He not only presented truth in its different phases, but appealed to the different hearers. Their interest was aroused by figures drawn from the surroundings of their daily life. None who listened to the Saviour could feel that they were neglected or forgotten. The humblest, the most sinful, heard in His teaching a voice that spoke to them in sympathy and tenderness.
And He had another reason for teaching in parables. Among the multitudes that gathered about Him, there were priests and rabbis, scribes and elders, Herodians and rulers, world-loving, bigoted, ambitious men, who desired above all things to find some accusation against Him. Their spies followed His steps day after day, to catch from His lips something that would cause His condemnation, and forever silence the One who seemed to draw the world after Him. The Saviour understood the character of these men, and He presented truth in such a way that they could find nothing by which to bring His case before the Sanhedrim. In parables He rebuked the hypocrisy and wicked works of those who occupied high positions, and in figurative language clothed truth of so cutting a character that had it been spoken in direct denunciation, they would not have listened to His words, and would speedily have put an end to His ministry. But while He evaded the spies, He made truth so clear that error was manifested, and the honest in heart were profited by His lessons. Divine wisdom, infinite grace, were made plain by the things of God's creation. Through nature and the experiences of life, men were taught of God. "The invisible things of Him since the creation of the world," were "perceived through the things that are made, even His everlasting power and divinity." Rom. 1:20, R. V.
In the Saviour's parable teaching is an indication of what constitutes the true "higher education." Christ might have opened to men the deepest truths of science. He might have unlocked mysteries which have required many centuries of toil and study to penetrate. He might have made suggestions in scientific lines that would have afforded food for thought and stimulus for invention to the close of time. But He did not do this. He said nothing to gratify curiosity, or to satisfy man's ambition by opening doors to worldly greatness. In all His teaching, Christ brought the mind of man in contact with the Infinite Mind. He did not direct the people to study men's theories about God, His word, or His works. He taught them to behold Him as manifested in His works, in His word, and by His providences."
[COL, 22]
Notes:
2. What does Matthew 13:11 tell us about the revealing and concealing functions of the parables? "Because it is given unto you to know the _______________ of the kingdom of heaven but to them it is not ____________." Matth. 13:11.
Notes:
3. Since when had these mysteries of the kingdom been concealed? Jesus stated that these mysteries which He came to utter, had been kept __________ from the foundation of the world. [Matth. 13:35] Quote: "That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world." Matth. 13:35.
"I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old." Psalm 78:2.
See also, "Then said I, Ah Lord God! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?" Ezekiel 20:49 (read the whole chapter).
Note: Several passages indicate that these mysteries were directly related to the earthly ministry and mission of Jesus. Revelation 13:8 explains that Jesus is "the Lamb of God slain from the foundation of the world."
4. From whom did Jesus conceal the mysteries of the kingdom and to whom did He reveal them? The mysteries were revealed to the ______________ but were hidden from the ___________ and _______________ . [Matth. 11:25; see also Mt. 13:11; 21:16; Lk. 10:21; Ps. 8:2.] Quote: To answer use the Bible texts.
Note:
5. What did the apostle Paul have to say about these mysteries? The mysteries hidden from the foundation of the world are identified by the apostle Paul as "the ______________ of Jesus Christ" . . . . "which was kept ____________ since the world ___________." [Romans 16:25; see also Eph. 1:4,9; 3:3; 6:19; Col. 1:26,27; Rev. 10:7.] Quote: To answer see the Bible texts.

V - Nature and the Parables

1. In which three ways did Jesus seek to teach the people about God? "He taught them to behold Him as manifested in His ____________, in His ___________, and by His _______________." [COL, 23] Quote of page 23: "In the Saviour's parable teaching is an indication of what constitutes the true "higher education." Christ might have opened to men the deepest truths of science. He might have unlocked mysteries which have required many centuries of toil and study to penetrate. He might have made suggestions in scientific lines that would have afforded food for thought and stimulus for invention to the close of time. But He did not do this. He said nothing to gratify curiosity, or to satisfy man's ambition by opening doors to worldly greatness. In all His teaching, Christ brought the mind of man in contact with the Infinite Mind. He did not direct the people to study men's theories about God, His word, or His works. He taught them to behold Him as manifested in His works, in His word, and by His providences.
Christ did not deal in abstract theories, but in that which is essential to the development of character, that which will enlarge man's capacity for knowing God, and increase his efficiency to do good. He spoke to men of those truths that relate to the conduct of life, and that take hold upon eternity."
[COL, 22b,23]
Note:
2. In what environment can truth best be taught and exemplified? "Christ taught His disciples by the ____________, on the __________________, in the ___________ and ___________, where they could look upon the things of _____________ by which He illustrated His teachings." [COL, 24] Quote: To answer click here for page 24.
Notes:
3. What error is frequently committed by teachers and how can it be corrected? "Too often the minds of _______________ are occupied with _________ theories and speculations, falsely called science and philosophy. They need to be brought into ___________ contact with nature. Let them learn that creation and Christianity have ___________ God. Let them be taught to see the ______________ of the natural with the spiritual. Let _______________ which their eyes see or their hands handle be made a lesson in character building." [COL, 25] Quote of page 25: "Too often the minds of students are occupied with men's theories and speculations, falsely called science and philosophy. They need to be brought into close contact with nature. Let them learn that creation and Christianity have one God. Let them be taught to see the harmony of the natural with the spiritual. Let everything which their eyes see or their hands handle be made a lesson in character building. Thus the mental powers will be strengthened, the character developed, the whole life ennobled.
Christ's purpose in parable teaching was in direct line with the purpose of the Sabbath. God gave to men the memorial of His creative power, that they might discern Him in the works of His hand. The Sabbath bids us behold in His created works the glory of the Creator. And it was because He desired us to do this that Jesus bound up His precious lessons with the beauty of natural things. On the holy rest day, above all other days, we should study the messages that God has written for us in nature. We should study the Saviour's parables where He spoke them, in the fields and groves, under the open sky, among the grass and flowers. As we come close to the heart of nature, Christ makes His presence real to us, and speaks to our hearts of His peace and love."
[COL, 25]
Note:
4. What link exists between the teaching function of the nature and the Sabbath? "On the holy rest day, ___________ all other days, we should study the messages that God has written for us in _____________." [COL, 26] Quote of page 26: "Christ's purpose in parable teaching was in direct line with the purpose of the Sabbath. God gave to men the memorial of His creative power, that they might discern Him in the works of His hand. The Sabbath bids us behold in His created works the glory of the Creator. And it was because He desired us to do this that Jesus bound up His precious lessons with the beauty of natural things. On the holy rest day, above all other days, we should study the messages that God has written for us in nature. We should study the Saviour's parables where He spoke them, in the fields and groves, under the open sky, among the grass and flowers. As we come close to the heart of nature, Christ makes His presence real to us, and speaks to our hearts of His peace and love.
And Christ has linked His teaching, not only with the day of rest, but with the week of toil. He has wisdom for him who drives the plow and sows the seed. In the plowing and sowing, the tilling and reaping, He teaches us to see an illustration of His work of grace in the heart. So in every line of useful labor and every association of life, He desires us to find a lesson of divine truth. Then our daily toil will no longer absorb our attention and lead us to forget God; it will continually remind us of our Creator and Redeemer. The thought of God will run like a thread of gold through all our homely cares and occupations. For us the glory of His face will again rest upon the face of nature. We shall ever be learning new lessons of heavenly truth, and growing into the image of His purity. Thus shall we "be taught of the Lord"; and in the lot wherein we are called, we shall "abide with God." Isa. 54:13; 1 Cor. 7:24.
Note: The Sabbath, in a special sense, reminds us that God is the creator of the heavens and the earth (Ex. 20:11). The Sabbath and nature are closely bound. In fact, the Sabbath should be a special day for the contemplation of God through nature.

V - Nature and the Parables

Guarding our Churches

That is why we are also challenged as follows:
"We need to guard continually against those books which contain sophistry in regard to geology and other branches of science. Before the theories of men of science are presented to immature students, they need to be carefully sifted from every trace of infidel suggestions. One tiny seed of infidelity sown by a teacher in the heart of a student may spring up and bring forth a harvest of unbelief. The sophistries regarding God and nature that are flooding the world with skepticism are the inspiration of the fallen foe. Satan is a Bible student. He knows the truths that are essential for salvation, and it is his study to divert minds from these truths. Let our teachers beware lest they echo the falsehoods of the enemy of God and man. {CT 390.1}


W.C. White Comment

"W. C. White: Jesus said at one time, "The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works." Now the law says that a man shall not practice medicine unless he has a diploma from a college, and unless he has passed the examination of the state board, and has a certificate. The law would not recognize the diplomas of our physicians unless they have studied some things that we do not think are really essential. For instance, in their preparation they have to study a number of things that we think they might get along without, but we can teach them. We do not have to teach these subjects in their way; we can teach them in our way. When it comes to the study of drugs, they (759) teach how to give them. We teach the dangers of using them, and how to get along without them. In some other schools they teach geology on the evolution basis. We can teach geology and show that evolution is false." {LLM 427.3}


E.G. White comment

"1187. God has permitted a flood of light to be poured upon the world in discoveries in science and art; but when professedly scientific men lecture and write upon these subjects from a merely human standpoint, they will assuredly come to wrong conclusions. The greatest minds, if not guided by the word of God in their research, become bewildered in their attempts to investigate the relations of science and revelation. The Creator and his works are beyond their comprehension; and because they cannot explain these by natural laws, Bible history is considered unreliable. Those who doubt the reliability of the records of the Old and New Testaments will be led to go a step farther, and doubt the existence of God; and then, having let go their anchor, they are left to beat about upon the rocks of infidelity. Moses wrote under the guidance of the Spirit of God, and a correct theory of geology will never claim discoveries that cannot be reconciled with his statements. The idea that many stumble over, that God did not create matter when he brought the world into existence, limits the power of the Holy One of Israel." [S. of T., 1884, No. 11. {HL 287.2}]


We must Educate

How do we guard against the teachings of Darwinian evolution? We must occupy ourselves with how to analyze all parameters having to do with this subjects. Our world today is not like it was 100 years ago. The sophistries of evolution can easily destroy all Bible faith in man and woman unless we can answer their questions. If we do not find right answers for them to understand and agree to, they will find them by the enemies of Bible based faith. Today it is not enough to teach our young children about Bible stories only. We ought to teach them about dinosaurs, geology, biology and all these sciences which divert minds from God and foster deep doubts and misapprehensions about what they hear in church. If we do not provide answers, more often then not, there comes a day on which many will not attend church anymore. Please take a look at our attempts to give some answers to these questions about the origin of life.
Unfortunately SdAs have neglected these studies and we are now closer to being the tail on the subject than the head. Pastors, evangelists find out if we have any trained scientists left in our church which will support Creation in 6 days. If there are some, invite them to preach and teach at your gatherings.
[P.S. If you cannot find anyone and would like some help contact CIAS. While I cannot fund such trips, being on a fixed income, I will be happy to speak on a weekend or so. To contact leave a message in the `guestbook'. Give only your name, place, phone & e-mail. It is private. No one else will see this information. California locations preferred. I will contact you and we can talk about what exact subject you would like help with.]

5. How did Jesus connect the teachings of nature with the common labors of everyday life? "In the plowing and sowing, the tilling and the reaping, He teaches us to see an _________________ of His work of __________ in the heart. So in every line of useful labor and every association of life, He desires us to find a lesson of _____________ truth." [COL, 26] Quote of page 26: To answer clicke here for page 26.
