Tell Me a Story

Bible in a Year:

• 2 Kings 24–25
• John 5:1–24

He did not say anything to them without using a parable.

Mark 4:34 Once upon a time. Those four words just might be among the most powerful in the entire world. Some of my earliest memories as a boy contain a variation on that potent phrase. My mother came home one day with a large, hardcover illustrated edition of biblical stories—My Good Shepherd Bible Story Book. Every evening before lights-out, my brother and I would sit expectantly as she read to us of a time long ago filled with interesting people and the God who loved them. Those stories became a lens for how we looked at the great big world.

The undisputed greatest storyteller ever? Jesus of Nazareth. He knew we all carry inside us an innate love for stories, so that was the medium He consistently used to communicate His good news: Once upon a time there was a man who scattered “seed on the ground” (Mark 4:26). Once upon a time there was “a mustard seed” (v. 31), and on and on. Mark’s gospel clearly indicates that Jesus used stories in His interactions with everyday people (v. 34) as a way to help them see the world more clearly and understand more thoroughly the God who loved them.

That’s wise to remember as we desire to share with others God’s good news of mercy and grace. The use of story is almost impossible to resist.

Reflect & Pray

How could you weave a story or parable into your conversations this week? Maybe something like, “Once upon a time, God answered my prayer in a surprising way . . . .”

Jesus, You’re the Wonderful Counselor and the Great and Mighty God. Give us creativity in the ways in which we share Your love with a world that still slows down to hear a story.

Big fan of the Funhouse Rock series. Edifying, good natured, patriotic, genuinely soulful and tuneful, and fun!

My personal favorite, “Figure 8”:

Also not Schoolhouse Rock...

Supertramp - School

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Again, not Schoolhouse Rock. But oddly appropriate for our current situation.

Alice Cooper - School's Out

Just being lazy tonight and enjoying the beautiful weather.

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

I am so ready for the weekend and it is bright and sunny and hot.

Are you in a zone that is starting to open? I sure hope so.
