Has anyone else seen a parable inside the parable that theyve seen?

Ive had many but cant think of any right now

yesterday afternoon i was laying face down on my chiropractor's table. my chiropractor is not the traditional crack your bones chiro. she is a nsa chiro, which stands for network spinal analysis. this means that she works on the "gateways" which are the beginnings of pathways that allow the mind to work with the body. anyway, my chiro always plays music while working on me. music that is very soothing to the soul, allowing ones' mind to let go of the carnal aspect of thinking and meditate on the spiritual. as i lay there, i thought about what our sister marlene had written in a recent post about God being able to move mountains in our lives. that thought led to remembering in the Scriptures how Jesus Christ, many times in His ministry on earth, would ascend into the mountains to pray and renew His spirit after being pursued by the multitudes. remembering how He carried within His body sickness and pain and how He had His lot of mental anguish, i began to picture Him, climbing the physical mountains with each step paining His aching body. i saw His feet digging deep into the mountain side, and could hear His gasps for breath as He labored to reach the Place of Comfort that awaited Him. away from the chaos of the multitudes. away even from His beloved apostles and disciples and His family. then i saw Him rest in His Father, communing with His Creator and becoming stronger in spirit. leaving off the physical in order to obtain the Spiritual. and this was to me a parable. showing me a picture of how it is the mountains in our lives that cause us to be drawn closer to Him. the mountains that loom over us are actually the impetus to draw us closer to God our Father. though we scale the mountains in painful steps, agony on our faces and in our bodies, our Father will renew us and infuse us with His power and might in our inner man. a reminder that in our trials and sufferings in this life, His peace awaits us if we will but separate ourselves from the world and come unto Him. as my session with my chiro came to an end, i understood that even the Son of God had to separate Himself from the physical in order to obtain the Spiritual. even our Elder Brother Jesus Christ had to endure the pain of the mountains on His physical body, in order to experience a renewing of His spirit and a building of His faith in His Father's love and will.

Claudia, That is such a awesome post. What, a parable.  This thought is giving me such comfort.  Makes you think of the Song I need thee every hour. Our Lord over came those mountains. Nothing to big for God and it all has a purpose. If, we don't see it now we ill.

In His Love,
Marlene
