MAY 18 – TELL THE STORIES

 Jesus told stories to the crowds of people who gathered around Him. He didn’t say anything without using a story. (Matthew 13:34)

    Jesus told parables (stories) about everyday tasks; farming, sheep herding, cleaning house, and such, to help His people become ready to hear the truth about God’s kingdom. Jesus explained that His stories were talking about God’s way of living, and they showed the differences between that way of life and living based on the world’s terms. These stories made it much easier for listeners to observe and find meaning in what Jesus was doing and the reasons for it. Studies have shown, the more complex and difficult the subject, the more valuable will be the availability of these stories to help people interpret ideas.

   In like manner, the stories that you find in your community may help your people understand the messages God asks you to give to them. Look around and see the stories of people following the vision as you have asked. Then, as you tell these stories, you will be showing your people what success looks like. They will begin to look for other expressions themselves, helping even more to gain understanding.

 Find and tell the stories that your people need to hear.
