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).
