Name one parable that Jesus told and explain one message contained in this parable.?

The parable of the prodigal son contains a powerful message about forgiveness. Whilst talking about the love of a father for his rebellious and wayward son, it speaks to us of the love of God for sinful humanity and how anybody who repents and turns to God will be welcomed into God's family.

This parable is in Matthew 21:28-32. The basic story is of a man with two sons who told them to go work in the vineyard. The first son refused, but later obeyed and went. The second son initially expressed obedience, but actually disobeyed and refused to work in the vineyard. The son who ultimately did the will of his father was the first son because he eventually obeyed. Jesus then likens the first son to tax collectors and prostitutes—the outcasts of Jewish society—because they believed John the Baptist and accepted “the way of righteousness” (v. 32), in spite of their initial disobedience to the Law.

The key interpretive point in understanding the Parable of the Two Sons comes in defining to whom Jesus is speaking. For that we need to look at the overall context of this passage. Matthew chapter 21 begins with Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The whole point of Matthew’s gospel is to show Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah. The crowd responds by shouting Hosannas and praises to the King. The King’s first act upon entering Jerusalem is to cleanse the temple (21:12-17). Afterwards, we see Jesus cursing a fig tree (21:18-22). This account may seem an isolated story, but Jesus was making a strong symbolic point. The fig tree is often symbolic of Israel (cf. Hosea 9:10; Joel 1:7). The fact that the fig tree had leaves but no fruit is symbolic of Israel’s religious activity—i.e., all the trappings of spirituality, but no substance. Israel may have had the leaves of activity, but not the fruit of repentance and obedience to God, which is why Jesus tells them the prostitutes and tax collectors will enter the kingdom ahead of them (v. 31).

In Matthew 21:23-27, the religious authorities—the chief priests and elders—question Jesus’ authority. Who is this Jesus who comes into Jerusalem receiving the praises of the masses and drives the moneychangers out of the temple? The stage is set for the showdown. It is in this context that Jesus tells three parables—the Two Sons, the Tenants, and the Wedding Feast. Each of these parables is told to the Jewish religious leaders, each illustrates their rejection of Jesus, and each pronounces judgment on Israel for their rejection of their Messiah. In the Parable of the Two Sons, the leaders of Israel are the second son who claimed obedience, but did not do the will of the father.

If you go to the link below, it will lead you to links about the other parables of Jesus. Hope that helps (and I've put this question back into the Religion & Spirituality section where it belongs).

Sounds like a homework assignment. Anyway here at Luke 10, there is the good Samaritan.

A young man came to Jesus asking what he needed to gain eternal life. Jesus though examined all about the man, including the reasons behind why he asked the question.. He was trying to prove himself righteous from the answer. Jesus would not do that. Instead using this aa a teaching moment. The young man asked after answering a question on the Law Jesus asked him then asked, "Who is my neighbor?"

Jews were taught only fellow Jews were neighbors. Anyone else ere strangers, acquaintances or enemies. It may have been unlawful for any Jew to treat warmly or have friendship with a non-Je at Acts 10:28.

On the road from Jerusalem to Jericho, a 14 mile hike, a Jew was robbed, beaten and left half dead. A Levite and a priest going home saw the man, but went to the far side of the road to keep going. The third man coming down the road was a Samaritan man. It was a toss up between a Roman soldier or a Samaritan as to who was hated more. (John 8:48)

The Samaritan did not care who ir what the man was. He oiled and bandaged his wounds. He did not stop there while he could have. He put the man on his animal, for transport to an Inn. There were no hospitals. Paid the Innkeeper cash to house and care for the man. If it were more, as he returned in his way home, ge would pay the balance owed.

Jesus then asked, "Who was the man's neighbor?" From Leviticus 19:18, the Jews may have concluded if they were neighbors to fellow Jews, they were righteous men. They could behave badly to any non-Jews. The young man wanting public approval that he was righteous, could not say, "The Samaritan." The Hews around him would have turned against him for that. Instead, the young man said, "The one who acted mercifully to the victim of robbers."

With that answer, Jesus allowed the man to keep his self respect without condemning him. Jesus used this to teach instead everyone there. Jesus made the point of the lesson crystal clear by saying, "Go and DO the same yourself."
