Parables

June 2nd 2008 18:17

Q. What are parables?
A. Stories that teach a lesson or moral.

Q. Have you ever wondered why Jesus spoke in parables?
A. Each person has a different mental capability. Back in biblical times schools were not a normal part of everyday life so ignorance was large scale. Even in today’s society with mental problems deficiencies and the like, not all people understand in the same way. Jesus understood the variations and complexities of comprehension as well as the diversity of ignorance. He spoke in parables to allow all people to understand with simplicity and logic.

Q. Why are parables repeated but in different ways throughout the bible?

A. The repetition was so all people could comprehend the message. Have you ever told a joke and a person said “I don’t get it”? But when you explain it differently they see the punch-line and consider it to be amusing? Jesus had an abundant supply of patience and it showed. It didn’t matter how many times He told a story, to tell it again in another way for someone else to see the point and purpose was a joy for Him.
