How Does Jesus Use Metaphor In Jesus

Aphorisms are quotable statements that Jesus’ audiences would remember. An example of this form of teaching would be when God said it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. (Harris, 2014). It is sufficient to note that the teaching of Jesus was never dull and that the teaching ministry was a means to an end. No one can read the gospels without being impressed by the artistic character of Jesus’ teaching. He made frequent use of metaphors, and constant use of similes, which were often of the most creative kind. There is no doubt that his forms of teaching were relatively easy to remember, caused people to think and were intended to be recalled (n.d.,

In Helena Maria Viramontes’ Under the Feet of Jesus, a young girl struggles to find importance and meaning in anything that she does or is ‘wanting’ to do. Additionally, her not being able to understand the language of this country, she struggles to understand and find meaning to things she does not yet understand.

There were about five thousand men all over the place and were speaking all at the same time and wanted their voice to be heard over someone else. Jesus gave an order to the disciples for order by having the men sit down in groups of fifty.

In chapter one, Arthurs pointed that God is the “great communicator” who communicated with variety. Variety is found throughout the word of God. Because God is a great communicator who used variety, preachers should preach with variety. Jesus used all kinds of form style, and genres of preaching. He knew how to get people attention. Preaching with variety helps the text to come alive. “Jesus used anecdotes, stories, paradoxes, contradictions, humor, irony, questions, and answers” (pg. 21), so we can too. Not only did Jesus used parables, objects, monologue and dialogue, but he used parables and symbols.

Mohammed Alhajri Marcos Norris English 1102 – 12 12 July 2015 Understanding of Metaphor Metaphors which are creative linguistic images of the objects, taken from the environment, are the integral part of any literary work.

This passage illuminates the primary message of repentance. In this passage, it was a time where Jesus reminded his people of when the tower at Siloam fell, and how if you do not repent, you will die. In the passage it says, “those eighteen people who were killed when the tower at Siloam fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than everyone else who lived in Jerusalem?” (Luke 13:4). In this verse, Jesus explains to us the need to repent. Jesus tells us the primary significance of what he saying by asking rhetorical questions, and reiterates the message of repentance. We are supposed to learn to repent for our sins, so Jesus can forgive us. Through repentance we can free ourselves from sin and learn from our mistakes.

Each of the four biblical images and metaphors aligns with the ministry of the congregation in my church. Relatively, as Paul address the church in the book of Ephesians concerning unity. The Body of Christ is the reflection of unity in the church, because believers are many members, but one body according to 1 Corinthians 12:20, indicating wholeness or being connected in the Spirit. The Spirit of Christ and the word is connect to Body of Christ. The Spirit without the word is mute. In other words, it has nothing to say. The word without the Spirit is lifeless; it has no power to act. The Spirit who lived in and through the human body of Jesus became the Spirit who lived in and among those who were called to gather in the name of Jesus. The called gathering of Jesus became the new body of Christ who continued to live in the church. Paul, then, conveys the behavior believers should have as the Body of Christ according to Ephesians 4:1-6, Therefore, I the prisoner of the Lord, implore you walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentles, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of calling; one lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over and through all and in all. This is the biblical image of unity in the Body of Christ. When the new

Unlike the Gospel of John which goes more into detail about Jesus’ divine nature the Synoptic Gospels provide us with accounts of Jesus’ public teachings where he was known to use figurative language such as parables and aphorisms. These two characteristic modes of teaching where the foundations that can be attributed to the ease of memorization of Jesus’ teachings during the forty years that followed the Crucifixion to the appearance of the Gospel of Mark (Harris, 2011, p. 121).

Throughout the new testament, there a multitude of references to “the kingdom of God.” What did Jesus mean when he said this? Jesus never specifically told us what he meant when he said, “the kingdom of God.” He did not often say exactly what he meant, using parables and other
