AB - This paper proposes a need for the development of a verbal intervention tool that could be utilized in Christian counseling. As one of the suggestions, the paper argues that the parables of Jesus can be a necessary resource. It takes a look the characteristics of parables and their interpretation related to Christian counseling. It pays particular attention to metaphoric aspect of the parables, looking at the recent studies on metaphor and its use in counseling. Metaphor is no longer seen merely as a rhetorical technique; it influences human beings’ lives as it encompasses their thoughts and experience, which shows counseling intervention through metaphor. Next, this paper draws three elements revealed by research on the parables of Jesus and metaphor, and proposes how they relate to Christian counseling. First, it emphasizes that figure brings about cognitive insight. Both the parables of Jesus and metaphor help with cognitive change and reorganization. Figure can give insight to the counselee through God’s perspective and will. Second, figure is useful in breaking habits that have been shaped through desires which contains the roots of sin. Figure approaches to counselee profoundly with deeper understanding. Third, just as the parables of Jesus were demonstrated through Jesus’s personality and life, a Christian counselor should have foundation on God’s faith and attitude to make and deliver the figure.
