Jesus Tells a Story About Me and God

Luke gives you the massive hint. Like Jesus was doing this because he saw his disciples were misunderstanding what it meant for him to go become king. It's as if our instincts are trained, and it's true in much of the Christian tradition, that the parables are about Jesus is talking about something else other than himself. This isn't like a brand new idea. There are many people throughout church history who have been, I think, responsible with the parables. But it's tended to be a minority.
