The Sovereign Purpose of Parables
This chapter is in many ways a sad one. The light of Christ's works had been clearly seen by the multitudes, and the light of His words had been clearly heard by them, but they had not repented of their sins and believed in Jesus Christ as their Messiah. Seeing they had not seen, and hearing they had not heard. And so, since they did not believe the clear light they had been given, Jesus took away their light by beginning to preach to them exclusively in parables. If we too neglect the great light we have been given, we should fear lest the Lord take away our light and leave us in darkness!
