Kingdom And Wisdom’s Parables

Upon analyzing it, the boss found that all the fruits were spoiling minus one of the medium. He felt his trunk and touched him,

"Not the court." This is a good tree that has already given me much joy. The apples are spoiling because they are absorbing brackish water instead of sweet. See that fruit of the middle: it is perfect. This is a sign that she protected him by making him absorb only fresh water. By this fruit, which is kept whole, I will not bring it down.

The great apple tree (meaning)

The apple tree represents the life concretely expressed in creation. The harvest is all that good produces life. Fresh water is the word of God and the ways to fulfill it. Brackish water is all contrary directions to the word. Fruits rotten are all those who deviate from the true path of God: love and serve the neighbor. The fruit of the environment is the small contingent that believes and follows the precepts of good without looking back. Even if there is only one faithful God will bless the land on his behalf.

The humble and the proud

In a large field, full of fruit trees and plantations, there were two servants: Joshua and Jeroboam. They cultivated the field and tended the flock of the boss's sheep. Joshua was a lieutenant and obedient to God, reserving himself to do his work. Jeroboam, on the contrary, boasted of his innumerable talents and sought to seduce the sheep so that they would follow him. Jeroboam's pride grew in such a way that he declared himself the son of his master. to assume the throne and the power that did not belong to him. Then the boss decided to summon him to introduce himself. He said:

"I heard you call yourself" my son. " Who gave you such authority? Do you want to match me?

"Revive my being of such splendorous glory that I have come to be your beloved son. I know you've hidden this secret from everyone. Now, I want my share in the inheritance.

—You're crazy. You are not my son. I only have one son: the firstborn. I will give him the throne and the power. If you were my son, I would not be so proud. Despite having created everything and everyone and having the universe in the palm of my hands, I do not count advantages. My works are those who speak for me. In addition to my pupil, I adopted several of my employees for being faithful. A living example is Joshua. He recognizes my authority and accomplishes the work that for this, I declare today, "He is my son also. I have begot him." And further, "He that humbled himself shall be exalted, and he that exalted himself shall be humbled."

The parable of the foolish man

The master gathered his disciples to the seashore, and a great multitude gathered around him. The master holds all the secrets of the universe and was sent to the lost sheep. However, he spoke to them in parables so that the "blind" and "deaf" did not understand. These had their hearts and minds closed and so they did not understand what he was saying. On the other hand, those committed to the kingdom could see in their teachings the true path. Then he began to teach: Behold, a foolish man can be likened to a ship that gradually sinks into the high seas. With every transgression committed, a chamber is flooded, and with it a host of good feelings and virtues is shipwrecked., vices) begin to exert a strong oppression on him and consequently the acts harmful to the neighbor and himself become more frequent. On the contrary, the angels (the good intentions and acts) begin to weaken and are forgotten in his life. At an unconscious moment, the angels seek in a last effort to make him see the way to restore balance and union between the creator and the creature. But defects act and prevent the regeneration of man because they are very strong. When all compartments are flooded and salvation is already impossible in the eyes of man the father can perform the miracle. But, for that, it takes surrender, confidence, repentance and the sincere intent of change on the part of the fool.
