It would seem that parables have more than one purpose. They can be used to make a point in a memorable way or to explain something in a way that requires the listener to carefully consider what they have heard. It is also a way to determine who is really interested in the mysteries of God and who isn’t and there is a warning in this; if you don’t care enough about what you have heard to try to understand it, what little faith you have will diminish and leave you with less than you had to begin with.
