- One of the problems with studying the parables of Jesus is that we know the punchline to the stories (i.e. we know how they end). 

- In this lesson, we tell three stories outside of the Gospels to help us prepare for the study of the parables of Jesus.

- **Three stories:**

  - Story of the Jewish tailor—there is such a thing as an enigmatic 
ending! Story leaves you wanting more!

  -  Story of the needy family with student in the signature group, 
“Impact Brass and Singers.” Story of the bad guy being the good guy!

  - Story of the broken car and helping female faculty member by 
biker. Story of wrong perceptions and leaving open-ended.

- Enigma, bad guys doing well, and wrong perceptions and open-ended 
are all characteristics of Jesus’ parables.
