The Rich Fool
Jesus tells the parable of the Rich Fool to explain that life does not consist in an abundance of possessions, and to warn against storing up things for ourselves and not being rich towards God.
The Great Banquet
Jesus told the parable of the great banquet where a man invited many people to a great banquet but when the banquet was ready those invited made weak excuses as to why they could not attend. The master of the house was angry and invited the poor, crippled, blind, and lame instead. None of those invited were able to taste the banquet.
"Fishers of men"
Jesus appears to seven of the disciples by the sea of Galilee. After a night's fishing the disciples had caught nothing, but when they followed the advice of Jesus to fish on the right side of the boat they caught a full net of fish. Jesus then invites them to come and have breakfast with him. Later the disciples will be sent out to be fishers of men.
On the road to Emmaus
On the first Easter Sunday Jesus walked with two of his disciples on the road to Emmaus, however they did not recognise him until he shared a meal with them and he took the bread, blessed it, broke it, and gave it to them. Their eyes were opened.
