My Son Again Why did Jesus speak in parables' Throughout the Gospels of the New Testament, the gospel writers depict Jesus speaking in parables to a group of people regarding the Kingdom of Heaven. Parables are insightful, concrete stories that are told orally to evoke a key theme or point about life. Jesus uses parables (probably) because the language for the most part is easy to understand and his audience included a wide variety of persons with different backgrounds and lives. The parable I will be focusing on is the Prodigal Son about a son leaving home and squandering all his money that his father had willed to him. He finally has a self-revelation period while “dining” with the swine, and he finally makes the decision to go home and ask for his father’s forgiveness.
