Metaphors of Jesus

[ZiSunka]

Jesus spoke in metaphors a lot, like "I am the door." Now he wasn't really a door, he was using metaphor to give us a word picture that would help us understand difficult concepts.

What are some other metaphors He used?

 

[Sword-In-Hand]

He said "I am the Light of the world." Don't think He meant He was a 60 watt lightbulb.

He also said that we must "eat of His flesh and drink of His blood." He wasn't referring to Himself as an all you can eat, vampire, cannibal buffet.

 

[SumTinWong]

I am the good shepard.
