Please share questions and comments in response to Stacey’s story.
-
How important is theme or meaning in the stories you engage most frequently? (Compared to plot, character, genre, etc). Are Jesus’s themes more enigmatic than your favourite stories?
-
Which of Jesus’s parables are most meaningful to you personally?
-
Have you seen the themes Jesus explores in his parables expressed in contemporary storytelling?
-
How do you see Isaiah’s words embodied today? “For this people’s heart has grown dull, and their ears are hard of hearing, and they have shut their eyes, so that they might not look with their eyes, and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn—and I would heal them”.
-
Have you constructed personal stories into parables of a sort? (ex. stories you tell to encourage others, stories you tell your children to emphasize an idea etc.)
