Parables

Prodigal Son God’s mercy is never ending! We are called to receive His mercy and bestow it upon others as well

Good Samaritan Jesus tells us we are not only called to love our neighbor but our enemies as well Both the Levite and the priest were on their way back from synagogue but refused to help a wounded man

Vineyard Parable The man who works all day gets the same reward as the man who works an hour We should not wish the kingdom of heaven to be held back from anyone

Rich Man and Lazarus The rich man ignores Lazarus and does not receive mercy when he dies If we are not merciful to others, how can we expect God to be merciful to us?

Unmerciful Servant The servant refuses to forgive another, but expects to get forgiven himself We can’t just receive God’s forgiveness and not give any to others in return
