~~~ Parables for Modern Academia ~~~
New Revised Academic Version (NRAV)
- By Deborah and Loren Haarsma
If Jesus taught on the campus today,
what might His parables say?
Matthew 24:45-51
How can a student, whom her professor put in charge of his research projects, be
faithful and wise? It will be good if the professor finds the research assistant working
hard when he returns; surely, he will give her an excellent recommendation. But suppose
that research assistant is wicked and says to herself, "My professor is staying away
a long time," and she begins to misuse the equipment and spend her time surfing the
web. The professor will walk into the lab on a day she does not expect and at an hour when
she is not aware. He will reprimand and humiliate the student and take away her funding;
then there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 24:45-51)
