the holy tales today's parable is the pharisee and the tax collector who is a pharisee holy
a pharisee is a teacher of scriptures and a person who knows a lot about god oh i see
long long time ago one day two men went to the temple to pray
one was a pharisee and one was a tax collector the two men sat down on their knees and prayed to god
while praying all that the pharisee could think about was how good he was and how much better
he was than any other person he prayed to god and said god i thank you that i am not bad like
all the other people i am glad that i am not bad like the robbers and the cheaters i'm so glad that
i'm not a bad person like the tax collector over there the pharisee continued praying
lord i'm so good and generous i give lots of money to people in need and i pray a lot when god heard
his prayers he was very angry with the pharisee the pharisee was not at all humble while praying
he had too much pride in himself and so he put himself above everyone else
then the tax collector began praying to god as we know tax collectors were considered to be bad
people who would cheat others for money but this tax collector was not one of those bad people he
wanted to pray from his heart and had a lot of faith in god he prayed to god from a distance
inside the temple god you are so good please forgive me for all the wrong that i have done
please help me to be a better person every day unlike the pharisee the tax collector was
humble at his praying god was very happy with him the tax collector did not even think for
once how good he was instead he thought how good god was so through this parable what jesus
wanted to explain to people was to be humble before god and god would make them great wow
that was such a nice story thank you for the story holy i loved it i am glad you did freckles
the holy tales today i'm going to tell you a story about a wedding
i'm sure you will freckles now let's begin with the story once there was a big wedding the wedding
was so big that there were 10 bridesmaids who were all helping the bride to get ready
weddings in those times used to happen at night the ritual was that the groom would come at night
and call out for his prize the bridesmaids would then hold up their lamps so that the bride and the
groom could see each other and the groom would be so happy to see his beautiful prime all the
invited guests and lamps in their hands and they would hold up these lamps so that everyone could
walk down the streets all the way to the groom's house then all the guests would get together dance
sing and make mary to celebrate the bride and groom's matrimony in jesus's parable the ten
bridesmaids were helping the bride to get ready there were five bridesmaids who were very wise
they knew the groom often would wait for a long time before he came to get the bride so
the five wise bridesmaids brought extra oil for their lamps so that they would have enough oil
for the lamps to burn even if the groom was late to come in the night on the other hand the other
five bridesmaids didn't think of any of this and so did not bring any extra oils for their lamps
the 10 bridesmaids finally got the bride ready and waited for the groom to come
they kept their lamps lit so that they were ready whenever the groom came minutes and hours went by
but the groom did not come the bride and the bridesmaids fell asleep waiting for the groom
the groom finally came and called out for his bride quite late at night the bride and the
bridesmaids book and started fixing their lamps to make them nice and bright as they started fixing
their lamps the five foolish bridesmaids realized that their lamps had run out of oil and the lamp
had burned out they asked for some oil from the five wise girls who were carrying extra but there
wasn't enough so the five foolish bridesmaids went out to look for some oil and missed out on going
out with the bride to meet the groom the wise bridesmaids and other invited guests arrived at
the groom's house and began with the celebrations the guards shut the door thinking that everyone
had arrived and so that no strangers could come in and disturb the wedding when the foolish
bridesmaids came they were not allowed inside the wedding the guards didn't even know who they were
so jesus wanted to teach his followers through this parable that no one of us
knows exactly the day and the time when jesus is going to come back hence we should always love
and obey god so that everyone is ready whenever he comes so are you children ready oh yes we are
the holy tales i am going to tell you the parable of the unforgiving servant
one day peter one of jesus's disciples came to jesus and asked him
lord how many times should i forgive someone when they do or say something wrong to me
jesus knew that everyone should learn to forgive someone if they are sorry for what they have done
instead of saying always jesus said 77 times peter was confused so
jesus decided to tell him a story which would help peter understand better how important it is
to forgive someone when they have realized their mistake and are sorry for their behavior
jesus told peter the story of a very rich king the king had many servants who worked for him
some of them looked after his treasury and were in charge of the other servants one day
the king decided to test one of his servants who was looking after his money
he wanted to see if he was doing his job perfectly so the king went to check his treasury
when he checked he saw that the servant had not paid the bills instead had borrowed the money
for his personal use the amount of money that the servant had taken was not a small amount
the servant was in huge debt so the king called for the servant i know that you have taken money
from the treasury without asking me you have committed a crime for which you will be punished
i will sell your family and you as slaves and take back the money that you have taken
the servant was very upset he knew that if his family and he were sold as slaves they
all would have to live in different places they might not be able to see one another ever again
so the servant begged and pleaded for forgiveness the king felt sorry for the servant he decided to
forgive him he even told the servant that he did not have to give back the money to him
as soon as the servant left the court he met another servant who owed him some money a very
small amount even though the king was nice to him the servant grabbed hold of the other servant he
started shouting at him give me back the money you owe me or else i will throw you into the prison
people saw the servant treating the other man this way and went and told the king
the king was very very angry he thought to himself i forgave him a huge debt but
he could not forgive another man who owes him a small amount of money he called for the servant
once again and threw him into prison so did you children understand the meaning of the story yes
the story means that god always forgives us for all the wrong things we do to him now he wants us
to forgive those who do wrong to us well done tubby that's exactly the meaning of the story
i hope you have understood the story too gumbo and freckles oh yes we have all right then hope you
