How extensively did Christ make use of parables?
Answer
"All these things spoke Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spoke He not unto
them." Verse 34.
NOTE - Parables are simply stories. All, young and old, like to hear a story. Story-telling is one of
the most successful means of awakening an interest, securing attention, and teaching, illustrating, and
enforcing important truths. Christ, the greatest of all teachers, recognized this, and therefore made constant
use of this method of instruction.
