For the most part, the parables of Jesus are
ordinary stories about fishing, sowing, receiving, finding, selling, and
buying, among other things. There is nothing immediately unusual about these
ordinary people and their ordinary situations, until the extraordinary; the
Kingdom of God, is included in the picture. It is in this realization, that
these apparent narratives of normalcy produce a shock, disorientation, and an
upheaval, through an announcing that the time has come for a new vision of
reality and of being in the world.
