Parables are teaching aides or earthly stories with a heavenly meaning. There are about thirty five of them recorded in the Bible as it was a method of teaching often used by Jesus.
So, why did Jesus use parables in His ministry? Jesus began to use them after the Pharisees had publiced rejected Him as their Messiah. The purpose was twofold in that those that were truly seeking the truth could see it through the stories while those that were not would simply dismiss the stories as nonsense.
