Let's see what truth we can wrestle from a simple slice of bread.
EPISODE #95
In Tribute to the Heel
ABOUT THIS PARABLE
- Concept: A simple loaf of bread (and especially the heels) serves to illustrate That God often uses the humble and unadorned. Jesus communicated this concept when he called Himself The stone that the builders rejected that became the much-honored capstone.
- Story Origin: Original
- Setting: N/A
-
Precept(s):
- We often view the heels in a loaf of bread as less desirable than the other slices.
- This example perfectly reflects Jesus’ teaching about the stone that the builders rejected.
- When we view ourselves with humility and modesty, we are in a place where God can use us.
- Key Bible Verse: Matthew 21:42 Jesus said to them: “Have you not read in the scriptures; the stone that the builders rejected has become the capstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.”
