While parables are fascinating and simple illustrations, there are plenty of other ways of sharing God\u2019s truth, many of which are clearer and simpler to understand, while others are more complex and less relatable.<\/p>\r\n<p>Fortunately for us living today, the disciples asked Jesus why He used parables when speaking to the crowds, and most of the gospels include Jesus\u2019 answer to this question. While it would be easy to speculate why Jesus used parables, let\u2019s let Jesus answer this question for us.<\/p>\r\n<p>Our passage is found in Matthew\u2019s gospel, chapter 13, and we will read it from the New Living Translation. Starting in verse 10, Matthew tells us that:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>10\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>[Jesus\u2019]<strong> disciples came and asked him, \u201cWhy do you use parables when you talk to the people?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>11\u00a0<\/sup>He replied, \u201cYou are permitted to understand the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven, but others are not.\u00a0<sup>12\u00a0<\/sup>To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them.\u00a0<sup>13\u00a0<\/sup>That is why I use these parables,<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>For they look, but they don\u2019t really see.<br>\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0They hear, but they don\u2019t really listen or understand.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>14\u00a0<\/sup>This fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah that says,<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>\u2018When you hear what I say,<br>\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0you will not understand.<br>\r\nWhen you see what I do,<br>\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0you will not comprehend.<br>\r\n<sup>15\u00a0<\/sup>For the hearts of these people are hardened,<br>\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and their ears cannot hear,<br>\r\nand they have closed their eyes\u2014<br>\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0so their eyes cannot see,<br>\r\nand their ears cannot hear,<br>\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and their hearts cannot understand,<br>\r\nand they cannot turn to me<br>\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and let me heal them.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>16\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cBut blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear.\u00a0<sup>17\u00a0<\/sup>I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, but they didn\u2019t see it. And they longed to hear what you hear, but they didn\u2019t hear it.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>In His response, Jesus not only answers their question, but He also shares that He was fulfilling prophecy while doing so. Jesus used parables to share truth in a simple, yet challenging way. While parables are simple sounding illustrations, we must be paying attention in order to understand what Jesus is teaching.<\/p>\r\n<p>Jesus\u2019 response tells us there is a difference between looking versus seeing, and hearing versus listening or understanding. In verse 13, Jesus summarizes a key idea in Isaiah by saying \u201c<strong>For they look, but they don\u2019t really see. They hear, but they don\u2019t really listen or understand.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>In order to understand Jesus, we must not only be looking and hearing, but we must also be seeing and listening.<\/p>\r\n<p>However, how is it possible for someone to be looking but not seeing, or hearing but not actually listening? Isn\u2019t the definition of looking actually seeking something out, and isn\u2019t hearing necessary for learning?<\/p>\r\n<p>It is in this subtle concept that we discover an amazing truth about what Jesus likely warns us about in these parables. While these illustrations are simple, the temptation is to read them, pull out a theme, and then discard the parable. This is looking and hearing with a closed mind, and it is what the religious leaders were good at doing in the first century.<\/p>\r\n<p>When Jesus stepped into history, there was expectation in the culture about the Messiah appearing. However, the expectation was so exclusively focused on one understanding of prophecy that Jesus simply didn\u2019t fit the expectation. Jesus ultimately was rejected because the religious leaders had closed their minds to any other understanding of prophecy. As we spent a whole year looking at, without covering everything, the Old Testament is filled with prophecies that Jesus did fulfill in His lifetime, including prophecies that Jesus could not have directly influenced while here on earth.<\/p>\r\n<p>But because Jesus didn\u2019t fit the picture of the Messiah that the religious leaders were looking for, they rejected Him. These religious leaders give us a model for looking but not seeing, and hearing but not really listening. The religious leaders looked with an agenda, and they filtered their ears with their ideas about who they believed God would send.<\/p>\r\n<p>Jesus\u2019 warning in His answer is that more understanding will be given when we listen to Jesus\u2019 teaching, and we will have \u201c<strong>an abundance of knowledge<\/strong>\u201d, but when we don\u2019t listen, even the little understanding we think we have \u201c<strong>will be taken away<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\r\n<p>We live in a world today that has pushed Jesus and His teachings to as far on the sidelines as it can, and we are seeing the fruit of this decision. Without Jesus\u2019 teachings that affirm creation, we are left wading through theories about our origins that keep getting disproven. The problem isn\u2019t the theory; the problem is with the assumptions that are used to form the rules that define what theories are acceptable. By rejecting Jesus, knowledge may be increasing, but understanding is being lost.<\/p>\r\n<p>Without Jesus\u2019 teaching on all the subjects that this world struggles with, we are left with a world that is growing more chaotic, more polarized, and more hostile than it has been in a long time.<\/p>\r\n<p>Jesus shares the solution in His response. In verses 16 and 17, Matthew quotes Jesus saying, \u201c<strong>But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear.\u00a0I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, but they didn\u2019t see it. And they longed to hear what you hear, but they didn\u2019t hear it.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>When we look with open eyes for Jesus and when we listen to Jesus, we will be blessed. Seeing Jesus means that we are looking for examples of ways God is working in the world today, not just supernaturally, but also through His people. Listening to Jesus means that we hear His teachings with an open mind and we apply the themes and lessons He shared into our lives.<\/strong> This is the simple recipe for gaining knowledge about God, and it is the framework for our focus on the parables during this year of podcasting.<\/p>\r\n<p>As we come to the end of another podcast episode, here are the challenges I will leave you with:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>As I always open these challenges by saying in one way or another, continue to seek God first and let Him lead and guide you as you walk through life. Don\u2019t just look with a closed mind at what God may be doing, but open your mind and see what God is doing in the world around us. Don\u2019t just selectively hear what you want to hear, but listen with an open mind and bring what you have learned to the Bible to discover if it is truth.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Also, as I always challenge you to do, keep praying and studying the Bible for yourself to discover what the Bible really teaches and to grow your own personal relationship with God. While studying the Bible isn\u2019t the last or only step when growing a relationship with God, combining prayer and Bible study are the only way to have a strong, solid foundation for your relationship with God.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>And as I end every set of challenges by saying in one way or another, never stop short of, back away from, chicken out of, or deviate away from where God wants to lead you to in your life with Him!<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div>\r\n<p>\r\nYear of Parables &#8211; Episode 1: As we begin a year looking at the parables Jesus shared, it makes sense to ask and answer the question about why Jesus used parables. Luckily for us, the disciples asked Jesus this question, and we can simply look at Jesus&#8217; answer to learn why.\r\n<\/p><p><strong>Join the discussion.<\/strong> Share your thoughts on this passage.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2777","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-audio"],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[2],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Why Parables: Matthew 13:10-17 - Reflective Bible Study Gospel Adventure<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\/gospeladventure\/why-parables-matthew-13-10-17\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Why Parables: Matthew 13:10-17 - Reflective Bible Study Gospel Adventure\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\/gospeladventure\/why-parables-matthew-13-10-17\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Reflective Bible Study Gospel Adventure\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/reflectivebiblestudy\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-01-01T10:00:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Cam\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@godstruthhisway\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@godstruthhisway\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/why-parables-matthew-13-10-17\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/why-parables-matthew-13-10-17\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Cam\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/6aa6c062baad6d28cd49429d13dee5e3\"},\"headline\":\"Why Parables: Matthew 13:10-17\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-01-01T10:00:00+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/why-parables-matthew-13-10-17\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":1432,\"commentCount\":0,\"articleSection\":[\"Audio Journal Entries\"],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"CommentAction\",\"name\":\"Comment\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/why-parables-matthew-13-10-17\\\/#respond\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/why-parables-matthew-13-10-17\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/why-parables-matthew-13-10-17\\\/\",\"name\":\"Why Parables: Matthew 13:10-17 - Reflective Bible Study Gospel Adventure\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2026-01-01T10:00:00+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/6aa6c062baad6d28cd49429d13dee5e3\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/why-parables-matthew-13-10-17\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/why-parables-matthew-13-10-17\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/why-parables-matthew-13-10-17\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Why Parables: Matthew 13:10-17\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reflectivebiblestudy.com\\\/gospeladventure\\\/\",\"name\":\"Reflective Bible Study Gospel Adventure\",\"description\":\"Your Life.
