Agricultural age vs Information age - parables

On Wednesday we spent the day in a retired couples garden. They are green fingered but due to his wrists giving out and her back/neck issues they struggle to garden like the used to. That must but very difficult to cope with!

Anyway I enjoy gardening so it was a labor of love for us. One of the things about gardening is it gives me the time to think. Today I thought about Jesus and the stories he told.

He really did live in a agricultural age. Cause most of his stories involved Shepards, sheep, goats, grain, wine etc. Now in modern day NZ, these stories are not relate able at all. We were driving home past a flock of goats got me thinking about sheep and goat sorting. This flock is milked and the milk sold. And we don't get sheep around the Waikato very much.

Trying to reinterrate the stories I got thinking about what I use daily - technology, Internet and such like.

So the sheep/goat sorting at the end of the age could be re interperated. We could say at the end of the age that the useful software will be separated from the trogens and spyware. However this would only make sense to the IT literate ones. Thus not being a general storie

Therefore could the parables center around cars? Clothes? Work?
Maybe the parable of the sower would be said like this today:

A man was unemployed so he went looking for a job. He knocked on many doors of companies looking for a job. Some of the people he talked to, he got a straight out no. Other people he talked gave a positive response, and was told to come back in a day or to when the details had been sorted out. However when he went back there was a not job, because the busyness of life had overcome the important task of getting the details sorted out so there was no job. Other people he talked to said come and work on a free trial. So he did, however because the company could not afford to pay him, and no extra money came in, he never got paid, so that job withered up. However one door he knocked on was very productive, he got offered a job, and the job suited his calling and abilities in life. Therefore he was blessed, he was a blessing to his employer, his work colleges and his family, and became well paid. All this far outwayed the time and effort he put into finding a job by 100 to 1000 fold.

Now this is a story that most people will relate to. I think that we need to celebrate the reinterpretation of the stories to maintain there relevance (or train a people in agricultural age stuff!)
