The message of Jesus came in story form, often with a side dose of humour.
Cartoons are a daily feature in our newspapers and this masthead is superbly served, not only by a team with quirky artistic talent but by those who, with a few added words, can cut through to the heart of current issues. Sometimes we chuckle, sometimes we cringe, but inevitably we marvel at the succinctness of the message. We may agree or disagree with a cartoonist’s view of daily life but, at heart, they are inviting us to approach things from a different angle.
Parables were a trademark method of teaching used by Jesus, drawn from the practice of ancient Israel. In fact he hardly ever taught without using them. They were the cartoons of his day. He used agricultural symbols and social or religious customs as subjects for his drawings; sometimes exaggerated, but always pointing to a truth.
