Similarities and differences?

Parables are; "earthly stories with a heavenly meaning."   Joseph's life story was a parable, 

foretelling the coming of the Messiah.  Even the marriage to the daughter of Potiphar, 

points to Jesus coming to save the Gentiles.

Joseph Carrol writes; "We were created to worship Jesus Christ. We were created for 

Him, to become something to Him in order that He might find pleasure in us. But this 

demands discipline. This demands self-renunciation. This demands the mortifying of the 

flesh. This demands the taking out of our lives everything that does not contribute to the 

one great objective."  Joseph Carrol How to Worship Jesus Christ, p. 31.

Every life is a parable that can point to Jesus?  Every life is meant to worship Jesus?  At 

this moment are we out running wild?  Or, are we controlling ourselves to live                                                                                 

within God's storyline?
