Best Answer
A:Parables are important in both the Gospels of Matthew and Luke because of a source shared by both gospels. Scholars have identified two main sources used by the anonymous authors of the two gospels, one being the Gospel of Mark and the other a hypothetical sayings document now known as the 'Q' document. Most of the parables are sayings from 'Q' and, because 'Q' did not provide any information as to the time or context in which Jesus spoke those sayings, both authors presented them as parables, although sometimes differing as to the time, place or audience for the same parable. The author of Luke provided additional parables such as the Prodigal Son or the parable of Lazarus, to highlight important messages in the gospel. Answer:

Parables are stories with a deeper meaning than readily apparent. Jesus frequently taught in parables. Sometimes He explained His parables to His disciples to make sure they understood Him. For example, The Prodigal Son shows that God continues to love us no matter how far we roam from fellowship with Him. He always awaits our return and welcomes us back (Luke 15:11-32).

Why is Luke's Gospel relevant today?

Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles were once thought to be historically accurate, giving them a special place in the New Testament. Now, New Testament scholars have established that the author ofLuke actually relied on Mark's Gospel for everything that he knew about the life and mission of Jesus. They say that Luke was believed too readily, and that there are serious doubts about the historicity of events unique to Luke and Acts.Nevertheless, Luke's Gospel can continue to inspire for its concern for the poor and for the moral truths in its parables, such as the Good Samaritan.
