We should see everyone, since they are made in the image and likeness of God, as the face of Jesus, and help them as such. This all means that when you hold the door for someone who has their hands full, you just held the door for Jesus. When you help your friend think some things through that they had weighing on them for a while, you were Jesus’ therapist.…

However, it is really Jesus Himself who is the greatest parable of the Bible. The way He lived is the greatest example that He ever gave to us, and His life reverberates throughout the generations. Jesus often used parables in teaching people about difficult concepts.…
