Christ spoke as to why he spoke in parables. Matt 13:13 (KJV) Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. Read a parable, doesn't it create a picture in your mind as you read. Alot of the "allegory" helps to make the Word more living and real. The Word has a lot of figures of speech to do that very thing. The phrase "heap coals of fire on his head" to overcome evil with good, was a common idiom to the people of Biblical times, it brought home for them the lesson of overcoming evil with good, it gave them a mind picture to make the lesson living and real. Notice your own words when you said "the picture of a bride" representing God's people, there is no literal picture there, but the words have created a mind picture, it makes the lesson living and real. Does this help? In His Love, |
