There is a twofold purpose for parables: to draw people who have a heart for Christ, and to cause people that do not have a heart for Christ to turn around and leave, and go away. Jesus purposely presented the parables in story form so that people outside of Christ would not understand. You see, we think differently. We think everybody needs to know, everybody needs to listen to me tell them about Christ. That is not the way Jesus was and it is not the way He is.
