Metaphors, Analogies and Parables

Jesus told parables which essentially are an earthly story with a heavenly meaning.

You could say that He was painting a picture with stories in the natural that had a parallel meaning to a spiritual truth.

For example (add)

Metaphors are similar except we paint the image. We paint something that we can relate to in the natural that helps understand a spiritual truth.

Often there is a Scripture that correlates to it. Sometimes you may be inspired by a verse or passage of scripture and then paint, sometimes you may paint and the Biblical account emerges. The more we abide in the Word of God the more God is able to bring to remembrance and draw upon.

Examples:

The Samaritan Woman – Waterpots

Oysters and Pearls.
