Meet the Apostles: Jesus the storyteller by ric Gustafson
It took time for the Apostles to fully comprehend Jesus's ministry. Some of those who listened to Jesus's stories were looking for a short fix from life's miseries. But Jesus wanted his followers to fully grasp what he was getting at.
Jesus used parables to communicate his message. He used stories, metaphors and analogies which were not immediately clear. His followers, when baffled at what he was conveying to them, asked him to explain it to them clearly. When they did this, he explained the mystery of the parable to them.
Over time, Jesus's stories began to make sense to those who truly wanted to know why.
