Binding The Strong Man – An Illustration!
‘Binding The Strong Man – An Illustration.’
Matthew 12:29.
There are many times that I have heard the term “binding the strong man” in Bible teaching meetings and seminars. This is not a doctrine it is simply an illustration from Jesus’ Teachings.
a) ‘Let me illustrate’ Jesus said.
b) Matthew 12:28. His main subject was about casting out demons.
c) We cannot first enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up.
d) Only when he is tied up can his house be robbed.
(Through this QT I understand more about Jesus’ teaching of casting out demons: Binding The Strong Man – An Illustration)

‘Fishing And The Kingdom Of Heaven.’
Matthew 13:47-50.
a) Matthew 13:47. The Kingdom of Heaven is like a fishing net that is into the water. It gathers fish of every kind. b
b) Matthew 13:48. When the net is full the fishermen drag it up on to the shore.
c) Matthew 13:48. When they have finished dragging it up the fishermen sit down and sort out the fish.
d) Matthew 13:48. They put the good fish into crates and they throw the bad ones away.
e) Matthew 13:49. The end of the World will be a similar experience. The Angels will come and separate the wicked people from the godly people.
(This Second one clearly teaches about entry into Heaven: Fishing And The Kingdom Of Heaven)

Chris.
Jesus always endeavoured to make His Parables clearly understood through illustrations. Jesus was often called “Teacher” by the people around Him in the Bible days. As Teachers of the Bible we need to make our Teaching as clear as possible, even using suitable illustrations. Teaching should be clear and it should not be merely entertainment.
