While Jesus Christ was on earth, he used parables to teach his disciples and the people around him the way to salvation and eternal life. What’s a parable you ask? A parable is simply an earthly story that has a heavenly meaning. This means a parable simply isn’t just any story but it has to be about something that gives us spiritual truth about being servants of Jesus Christ. Most of the parables that Jesus taught his disciples didn’t understand them immediately. They often asked Jesus to tell them the interpretation or meaning of the parable or earthly story that they’d heard. Jesus gave them the answers they’d seek. Other people who heard the parables that the Messiah spoke didn’t quite understand them either, but they knew that he taught them with power and authority and not like the Scribes and Pharisees that were in the Temple (Matthew 7:29). This is what Isaiah had prophesied about concerning Jesus and his parables.
Isaiah 6:10
New King James Version (NKJV)
“Make the heart of this people dull,
And their ears heavy,
And shut their eyes;
Lest they see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart,
And return and be healed.”
