What is a parable?

A parable is a simple and objective fictional narrative that communicates a message or teach a lesson. The parables of Jesus can not be compared to any other existing parable, because of such originality and purpose.

In general, the parables of Jesus have a very clear central message, but at the same time are also very deep in their applications, so that only the true followers of the Lord Jesus can understand them fully.

Why Jesus taught in parables?

Jesus used parables to proclaim the Kingdom of God, that is, to announce something unprecedented was being revealed in his own ministry.

Jesus' teaching in parables also fulfilled Old Testament prophecies. This is because the parables are to increase understanding about the kingdom of God to those who have a genuine relationship with Christ, but at the same time, for those who do not have the parables end up increasing their confusion and ignorance (Matthew 13: 11-16 ).

Therefore, we must think of the parables of Jesus as doors that open to some, but close to others. Therefore, the parabolas show how much hidden.

So learn the important lessons today present in Jesus' parables.
