Your Life Is A Parable



Your life is a parable. Your life is scripture.







The Prophet Joseph Smith said: “I have a key by which I understand the scriptures. I enquire, what was the question which drew out the answer or caused Jesus to utter the parable?” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, sel. Joseph Fielding Smith, Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1938, pp, 276–77.)




In order for you to understand your life you must do as Joseph said. What is the question which drew out the answer or caused Jesus (Spirit) to utter the parable (Body) or the manifestation of your physical life? Once your life is given the correct interpretation then you will experience "the peace of God, which passeth all understanding" (Philippians 4:7).
