the parable of jesus
The parable is a story of a familiar experience which is told in order to illustrate a spiritual truth.
An earthly story with a heavenly meaning. The word comes from Greek, parabole, which means comparison or analogy. A parable is thus a comparison drawn from nature or daily life, which is designed to illuminate some spirtual truth.
The parable is a mode of speech which applies a metaphorical process to a narrative form. This metaphor is not the pictorial mode of expression, it does not consist of clothing an idea. It is not a form of speech decoration but it is more of the function of or intentionality of the of the parable (it deals with the Kingdom of Heaven).
