"A parable is a small story with a large point"

Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32

Jesus repeatedly spoke in metaphor (meaning "a crossing over"), an indirect form of communication that encourages and permits something new. His most frequent use of metaphor relates to the word "parabola," a curve like that thrown by a lampshade, for example. Parable is a kind of curve that seeks to bypass the human defence system, a defence system that attempts to keep God out. In breaching this defence, no one has ever told as many, as memorable or as effective parables as Jesus.
