This book is written from the view that God is speaking to His Church through the life and teachings of Jesus. Therefore, when Jesus speaks to His “disciples,” He is speaking to His “Church.” All the stories and miracle are “acted parables,: and they teach us remarkable things about the”Church.”

By using physical objects and physical events, Jesus makes His spiritual lessons clear to us. Whenever the word “Church” is used in this book, it is referring to those that are “God’s People” and not to a building or organization.
