"The Scripture says, “All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; … that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
--I will open My mouth in parables;
--I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.”Matthew 13:34, 35.
Natural things were the medium for the spiritual; the things of nature and the life-experience of His hearers were connected with the truths of the written word.
Leading thus from the natural to the spiritual kingdom, Christ’s parables are links in the chain of truth that unites man with God, and earth with heaven."
