A Biblical Story

Moses of the Bible was a leader of God’s “chosen people”. He was called to lead a frustrated and discouraged people through a wilderness where only extreme necessities were provided through divine intervention. Even throughout the challenges that presented themselves, Moses relied on God and was victorious in leading the people. The Biblical character of David suffered fear in his life. He fought with a foreign giant, was threatened by a jealous king, and fought wars with opposing nations. He, too, prevailed over his battles through his strong faith in God. Jesus Christ was hated, beaten, threatened, and ultimately killed. Yet he is considered the epitome of resilience. He overcame physical death, was resurrected, and now reigns at the right hand of God in heaven. Trust in God’s faithfulness is a continuing theme throughout the Bible’s stories of resilience.

The Parables of the New Testament were taught throughout Jesus’ ministry because they were a “Jewish form of teaching” (Smith 25), and parables “had been extensively developed by the rabbis” (Smith 18).
