In the Parable of the Sower as found in Mark 4 (and also in Matthew 13 in a different form; concentrate on the Markan version), we find Jesus not only giving an enigmatic teaching regarding the sower/seeds/soil, but also embedding within the parable an equally enigmatic set of statements regarding the purpose of the parables. Respond to the following:
- How do you understand Jesus’ teaching relative to parables here?
- According to Jesus, what is the purpose of parables?
- How is that a valid or beneficial purpose within the context of the Gospel of Mark?
- How could this purpose serve to preach who Christ is more effectively in general?
Support your statements with evidence from the Required Studies and your research.
