Summary by Darrin Koehler

When Jesus gives parables, it is important that we do not read into them meanings that He did not intend. Jesus spoke in different kinds of parables – some that were allegories (a story involving symbolism, where the elements of he story represent truth figuratively) and some that were simple, one-point illustrations. The fact that Jesus spoke in parables was actually a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. He explained this in Matthew 13:13-17, saying that a man will either be condemned by the Gospel or saved through it. Jesus uses this parable to explain that there are many ways of responding to the Gospel, but only one way that leads to salvation: repentance and belief.
