We've been enjoying the new Church's new Come, Follow Me program so far this year as we've been studying the scriptures and, in particular, the New Testament. Recently, one of the topics we discussed was the parables of Jesus---the parable of the talents, the ten virgins, the sower, and so forth.
One of the study questions/ideas from this lesson was to come up with a parable of your own, using modern metaphors. At that moment, I couldn't think of one. But upon going outside later that morning and walking through the pouring rain, a parable became apparent before my very eyes.
It is simply this: The adversary uses things that, on the surface, look very appealing and attractive. Once he's drawn us to the surface by these superficial things, like the worm, he crushes us or steps on us or runs over us with cars or does any number of a horrible other things that can be done to worms in the rain.
So, there's my parable.
