The Parables of Jesus + Bible Tabs

Access a deeper and more complete understanding of Christ’s teaching in the Parables. Wonderful for homeschooling families, or any family eager to learn from Christ.

Product Description

The Parables of Jesus is a Scripture Study that closely examines twelve of Jesus’s parables. Designed to be used by an entire family with children at various ages, the following are provided for each parable:

• Complete Biblical text of the parable.
• Various pieces of Sacred Art that depict the parable.
• An explanation that places the parable within the Biblical narrative.
• Important lessons that allow us to understand what Jesus’s audience already understood (Jewish customs, how a seed sprouts, how a vineyard is tended, etc).
• The biography of a Saint who lived the lesson presented in this parable.
• A fun activity designed to foster understanding or our willingness to live the lesson Christ taught.

Yes, we have heard the parables before, but there is still so much to discover in these stories! Open your heart to God’s lessons and take your family deeper into Christ’s teaching.

Teach Your Children As Jesus Taught

Jesus used the parables to teach 2,000 years ago. Since that time, the Church has consistently used the parables to teach, and we should do the same in our homes!

Stories are powerful--and as parents we should use the parables as we endeavor to teach our children to live moral lives as faithful followers of Christ.

The parables reveal the Kingdom of God, call us to conversion, reveal God’s mercy, form our conscience, and teach us humility. 

The Parables of Jesus unpacks the parables and sheds new light on them, so you can bring these lessons to your children.

The Parables of Jesus explores the following 12 parables:

1. House Built On Rock
2. The Sower and the Seeds
3. Pearl of Great Price
4. Unforgiving Servant
5. The Good Samaritan
6. The Prodigal Son
7. The Rich Man and Lazarus
8. Laborers in the Vineyard
9. The Pharisee and the Tax Collector
10. The 10 Virgins
11. The Parable of the Talents
12. The Sheep and the Goats 

Find Jesus in the Parable

Jesus is in each parable.

He is the Good Shepherd seeking the lost sheep, the merciful Father welcoming the prodigal son, the generous landowner, and the judge separates the sheep and the goats.

Studying the parables helps Catholics think like Christ, live like Christ, and love like Christ.

But beyond this, studying the parables can lead to a genuine encounter with Christ our Lord.

Age Recommendations

The Parables of Jesus was created for the Whole Family. Although most children in fifth grade or older could use the study on their own, it was not intended to be used this way. Instead, The Parables of Jesus was designed to be led by a parent to children of various ages.
