Christ the Great Teacher gave much of His instruction as He walked with His disciples
through the hills and valleys of Palestine or rested by the lake of river. In His parable
teaching He linked divine truth with common things and incidents, as may be found in the
experiences of the shepherd, the builder, the tiller of the soil, the traveler, and the
homemaker. Familiar objects were associated with thoughts true and beautiful--thoughts of
God's loving interest in us, of the grateful homage that is His due, and of the care we
should have one for another. Thus lessons of divine wisdom and practical truth were made
forcible and impressive.
