Jesus taught people lessons about Heaven, love and many other things using parables and metaphors. It's an effective way to help people understand. Many Christian musicians do the same thing with their music. Take, for instance, a hip hop artist named Tim Gross, also known as CY. His latest album (the fourth in his independent career) is titled Cirus World Event - The Ringleader, and the idea behind it is the the world is one big circus, and to get in, the admission is our soul. It's pretty clever. "The Ringleader" is rapped from the perspective of Satan, who does somewhat act as the ringleader of the world. Jesus comes in at the end of the song, talking about being the true ringleader, and asking who our ringleader is. The circus acts seem to be metaphors for the world's temptations, such as a girl in "Circus Tour." "The Flip Side Trapeze" talks a little about a parable in Matthew 20 that says that the first shall be last and the last shall be first by putting it into a hypothetical situation. In the same manner, "The Parable" makes a hypothetical situation about the parable of Lazarus and the rich man from Luke 16.
