Description
Reading: Luke 17:7-10 Parables make interesting reading and preaching material. Quite often because of their simplicity, we believe that we know how to interpret them. Further, because we think that parables function like similes, we engage in a relentless drive to identity equivalents in them. Sometimes this approach not only misreads parables, it makes for less than appealing readings. '1 his appears to be the case with this parable of Jesus, peculiar to the gospel of Luke and couched within a number of sayings in Luke. This location for the parable needs to be borne in mind lest we think that we have in these chapters a continuous narrative rather than a cluster of sayings.
