Jesus Christ taught many valuable life lessons using simple illustrations from nature and the culture of the Israelite people. These lessons remain relevant today. Lessons like "The Lost Sheep", which illustrate that God loves the individual and wants every person to be a part of His eternal Kingdom, and the farmer who was ploughing a rented field when he discovered treasure below the soil and chose to sell everything he owned in order to buy the field so the treasure would be his, illustrating that Jesus is worth sacrificing all for, for He will bring us true happiness. This book originally published in 1900, has been re-written in modern and simple English by Tim Maddocks.
