There is morethan justice
Jesus' surprising takes in 2 parables.
Start
Jesus tells parables
Throughout his ministry, Jesus told parables - little stories designed to make a point. He did this, sometimes, to be a little opaque and make his listeners think. He did it, other times, to make a simple point as clear as possible. He did it, every time, to show what living is like through God's paradigm - something he called "the kingdom of God."
You're going to read 2 parables on the next slide, each of which have surprising takes on what fairness and justice might look like.
NEXT
Luke 16:1-9
Matthew 18:21-35
