Nathan David
King David is spellbound by the story that Nathan continues to tell. The wealthy landowner snatches the lamb from the poor man and slaughters it for a banquet for a visitor. By this time, David obviously felt that Nathan's story sounded so realistic that it must be true and vowed revenge upon this greedy and cruel overseer. "I swear by the living Lord that the man who did this ought to die!"1
At this point, the prophet cleverly makes his application in true evangelistic style. "You are that man!" It made its mark, the ploy succeeded totally. In a moment of truth, David accepted from Nathan what he could not have been told in a straightforward manner. Today's evangelist should seek to hit their mark in a similar fashion. Parables are a good way to achieve that.
1 2 Samuel 12
"Nathan and David."
