Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable. - Matthew 13:34 niv

Parable - from the Greek word parabole - which means a placing beside - in other words a comparison

What is a parable but a simple narrative that reveals a truth. While we often think of narrative consisting of words, but art can have a narrative quality too. This is the basic methodology I ascribe to in my work.

While parable can be an effective way of explaining complicated theology, I believe Christ relied upon parable for more than just that. For its effectiveness, only extends to those who are willing to gather out the truth. By our act of sincere volition our minds are engaged, and that truth is able to penetrate our spirits in a more vivid and deeper way than merely giving it away plainly and simply can. Much like art, for those willing to explore past the surface of a parable, a whole new world is revealed. 

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings. -Proverbs 25:2 niv
