estate on which a father lives with his two sons and hired servants. There are two men building houses in different locations—one on rock, one on the sand. There is a traveling scene where a man is attacked by robbers as he makes his way from one place to another. What common, everyday scenes! Think of Christ’s use of common elements—of pearls, leaven, oil, coins, and sheep. Jesus did so much with the ordinary things of life! As the Son of God, Christ had created all these things, seen and unseen.
