Jesus could have spoken plainly and clearly and to some He did but, publicly He spoke in parables….
Parables are stories that contain God’s Truth or message yet, even though it was spoken publicly-seen and heard - which is the natural physical realm, the parables can only be seen, heard and understood spiritually - by the Holy Spirit.
And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”
He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: ‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive; For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.’ But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
“I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world.”

God will reveal Himself to the humble…
Dear Heavenly Father,
We humble ourselves and ask You for Your Truth. May Your Holy Spirit plainly reveal to all that humble themselves, trusting NOT in any denomination or any “man” but only in You to be given the understanding of the Truth of Your Word which gives life to the hearer, in the Name of Jesus Christ, amen and amen.
