Matthew 13:34-35 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable. So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet:“I will open my mouth in parables,I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.”
When Christ came to earth, He did not come empty-handed. He brought with Him hidden treasure. His words brought truths long hidden, not fully comprehended. He is, after all, the Word who spoke at creation, and Who reveals the heart of God to Man. Many of the things He came to share most people could not handle. He had to speak to us in terms of the thing of this world, giving comparisons to what things are "like" that we can comprehend. Then, when the light of faith comes on, and the Holy Spirit goes to work, we can see, and believe, and treasure these things in our hearts.
