Journal Entry 8 – A look at Parables
1. Read the parables and identify the inspiring quality that Jesus is trying to teach us.
The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant: That we must always forgive one another no matter
how many times nor how great the sin.
The Parable of The Persistent Widow: That you should never lose faith in what you do as you
will be rewarded in the end.
The Parable of the Rich Young man: The link does not work.
2. Provide an example of a real life situation or person who has demonstrated the above qualities
you have listed:
A real life situation I believe which demonstrates one of the above qualities is the Beaconsfield Miners.
The quality that it represents is the Parable of the Persistent Widow.
Brant Webb and Todd Russel remained in the mine for exactly 2 weeks only surviving with a muesli bar
and later food which was delivered. The two of them never gave up despite the amount of trouble they
went through.
Another quality is of the Parable of the unmerciful servant. Something which represents this is Shane Warnes
wife Simone. Simone forgave Shane many times despite how much times he slept with other women
