More on Parables

Here is a list of some of the stories and parables spoken of in Luke and the principles that can be gleaned from them:

• Luke 16: 1-12- The Parable of the Unjust Steward.  Be faithful and diligent in the things that you are entrusted with now and do not worry about the future.  If you are diligent then the Lord will make things right and will provide for your needs.

• Luke 16: 19-31- The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus.  While here in this life, we need to accept the Truths we are presented with and do good unto others with the knowledge we are blessed with.

• Luke 17: 11-19- The 10 Lepers. Give thanks constantly unto God, our Heavenly Father, for the things He has given us and blessed us in our lives.

• Luke 18:1-8- The Parable of the Unjust Judge. The Savior is the ultimate Judge and we cannot and should not try to act in His place.  Pray always to Heavenly Father for guidance and understanding.

• Luke 19: 9-14- The Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican.  Beware of self-righteousness and exalting oneself above God.  Those who are humble and respect and fear God will be given the reward of exaltation in the life to come.
