Meaning of parable - JSS2 Christian Religious Studies Lesson Note
Parable is simply an earthly story with a heavenly meaning.
It is a way Christ adopted to teach from the known to the unknown in an interesting way so that his audience could understand. The aim of every parable is to make learning easier for learners.
It is an effective method of revealing truth to the spiritual and ready mind at the same time, concealing it from others who are not interested.
