Jesus was the Master of illustration - Real life illustrations

0
Not only did He use Sriptural & Natural illustrations, but Jesus used very real aspects of life around him & from the culture to illustrate what He taught. Here's a few examples of His Real-Life-Illustrations:

1. The Sower who went out to sow (Matt 13:2)

2. The Enemy Sowing tares (Matt 13:24)

3. Finding a treasure in a field (Matt 13:44)

4. A merchant seeking a valueable pearl (Matt 13:45)

5. Fishermen casting a dragnet (Matt 13:47)

6. A woman putting leaven in a meal (Matt 13:33)

7. Two builders constructing houses (Matt 7:24)

8. The Shepherd seeking his lost sheep (Matt 18:12)

9. A woman seeking lost silver (Luke 15:8)

10. The prodical son (Luke 15:11)

11. Debtors (Luke 7:41)

12. Labourers in a vineyard (Matt 20:1)

13. Virgins at a wedding (Matt 25:1)

(This list could continue through pretty much all of the parables)
