Stauron
1. To list just a few—there is the parable of the sower (Mtt.
13:19); the parable of wheat and tares (Mtt. 13:24); the parable of
the mustard tree (Mtt. 13:31); the parable of the leaven (Mtt:
13:33); the parable of hidden treasure (Mtt. 13:44); the parable of the
costly pearl (Mtt. 13:45); the parable of the net (Mtt. 13:47); the
parable of the householder (Mtt. 13:52), and that's just the parables in
one chapter of one gospel account. Others could include the parable
of the king who desired an accounting of his servants (Mtt. 18:23);
the parable of the rich and the camel going through the eye of a
needle (Mtt. 19:23); the parable of the housemaster hiring
laborers throughout the day (Mtt. 20:1); the parable of a king making
a marriage for his son (Mtt. 22:2); the parable of the ten virgins
with their lamps (Mtt. 25:1); and the familiar parable of the talents
(Mtt. 25:14).
Poimen:
1.Perhaps this has happened because the ministry has become
so "professional," and churches, weary of being mocked for
their backwardness, lust for a pastor with "legitimate academic
authority." Unhappily, they often get just what they ask for. Of
course, piety and learning are both necessary to make excellent pastors
(1 Tim. 4:16).
2. Though his detractors had placed his apostolic authority
in question as well.
