Why Jesus Used Stories

(Matthew 13.10-17; Luke 8.9,10)

¹⁰When Jesus was alone with the twelve apostles and some others, they asked him about these stories. ¹¹He answered:

I have explained the secret about God's kingdom to you, but for others I can use only stories. ¹²^(A) The reason is,

“These people will look
    and look, but never see.
They will listen and listen,
    but never understand.
If they did,
they would turn to God
    and be forgiven.”
