Christ, teller of riddles and parables

Why did Christ speak parables or riddles everywhere he went? Because this is what God does and has done from the beginning of time, (Matthew 13:34).

Christ was a teller of riddles or parables. If you were able to solve his riddles or parables you were able to get closer to God, to receive a special insight that no one else could understand because they were unwilling to put the effort forth required to get closer to God, to understand God, to solve the riddle.

So God speaks to us in riddles so that we may know the secrets of the Kingdom of God if we solve them, (Luke 8:9-10). So to be a good disciple you must follow God and be a good solver of God's puzzles, riddles and parables.

For the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven is for the disciples and the unsolved parables are for the ones who are spiritually blind and deaf. This means if we are a follower of God we will take these parables serious and solve them. This also means if we are a follower of God we will be able to explain the meaning of the parables to others
(Luke 8:9-10).

For many, some of Christ's last words on the cross was a riddle, here it is in Matthew 27:46 as follows: About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"--which means, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?"

Christ's Last Sermon
Even when our savior was on the cross he was ministering to his lost sheep and trying to show us how to come to God the Father, through him.
This is first and foremost a question we must ask ourselves and solve as a parable for everywhere Christ went he spoke parables -go to my blog by clicking on the link above and go to my sermon called Christ, teller of riddles and parables. So, we ask ourselves why did Christ say this on the cross.

I've heard some preachers say he questioned himself, his very mission. I believe this is ignorance of our preachers at the highest levels. Christ was God in the flesh, the Son. How can he question God the father, who is part of him, the trinity of God.

So, the only other solution is that Christ was saying it because he knew there were some disciples listening (reporters) that were going to eventually write this down in one of the gospels, for mankind to read later. In other words Christ was preaching by telling a parable that if we were to solve it we would be blessed.

So, back to the original question, why? We must all ask why, why did God the father forsake God the son?

Because God loves us so much he gave his only begotten son, that's why. God loves us so, that's why. God could have sent legions of angels down to protect his only son, Jesus, to rescue Jesus, because Jesus was innocent of all charges, Christ had no blemishes, no sins, he was a perfect offering as first fruits of the wave offering to rise again for all of us who follow him. That's the first reason why.

The second reason why, is Christ was fulfilling prophesy. Psalm 22:1 prophesied the Messiah would say this. Here's how it reads:
Psalm22:1 NIV 1 My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from saving me, so far from the words of my groaning?


For once the riddle is solved it no longer is a riddle but a precious gem, like, after being found the owner thought it was an old rock, but after extensive work dusting, cleaning and chipping it, rounding off sharp edges here and there, then polishing it on a wheel for many hours he discovers suprisingly a huge valuable gemstone was underneath all the dirt and granite. So valuable was this gemstone the owner sold it immediately allowing him to retire and spend everyday with his family having fun.

For everyone who does evil hates to riddles staying in darkness, since, it takes so much time to come into the light and those who do solve the riddles do only good deeds with hard work so they come into the light showing God the deeds they are doing, (John :3:19-21).

Selah (meditate on this).
