Jesus
There were many more than three, and most of his parables showed in some way, the kingdom of Heaven
1 Parables of the Kingdom of Heaven: hearing, seeking and growing 2 Parables of loss and redemption 3 Parables about love and forgiveness 4 Parables about prayer 5 Parable about the end times
Jesus told the parables in the bible.
He used Parables.
He used Parables.
The Catechism defines parables in its glossary:A characteristic feature of the teaching of Jesus. Parables are simple images or comparisons which confront the hearer or reader with a radical choice about his invitation to enter the Kingdom of God.
Jesus is known for telling parables that taught moral or spiritual lessons about the kingdom of heaven in the Bible. His parables, such as the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son, were meant to convey important messages in a relatable and easily understandable way.
Without reading them all again I would say Israel. Jesus said .................. "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Mat 15:24. So Israel is the central subject of Jesus' parables.
The parables told by Jesus were earthly tories with a heavenly meaning in it. Like the Prodigal son in Luke. it is a story of a son who wastes all his money , and then returns back home to the father.. The father who welcomes him back, is God and we are the son. God is waiting for us to all repent.
Many of Jesus' parables grew out of the conflict situations when Jesus answered His religious critics. These answering parables, usually for the Pharisee and sinners, simultaneously exposed the self-righteousness of His critics and extolled the kingdom of God.
