In this episode we consider two parables, the contemptible friend and the corrupt judge, and the lesson Messiah is teaching us in these unusual parables. Is God a bad friend? Is He a corrupt judge?
When is a story just a story? How were parables used by Messiah Yeshua/Jesus, and his contemporaries? Are they meant to be mysterious? Or were they doing something else for the listener? We will answer these questions and more in Part 1 of Messiah and the Parable.
