Parables are short narratives that are intended to teach valuable lessons for practical applications and profit. It is wisdom to embrace such teachings especially when it comes from infallible authority like Christ. Parable is not for the fools!(Proverb 26:7). To benefit from parables, there must be: I. Humility, ii. Attention to learning and iii. Readiness to understand and obey instructions given. Otherwise, it will be like those in Jesus time, who were at loss: "because they seeing, see not; and hearing, they hear not, neither do they understand." Matthew 13:13. When the heart is anchored on, and guided with the truth and grace, error with accompanied mistakes and consequential ruins are overcome.
