Read Matthew 13-15
Matthew 13:10 says, "And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?" Jesus’ answer was because the disciples were supposed to know the meanings behind them and not just anybody. Writers are urged to find anecdotes for articles to make them more interesting. Pastors keep our attention best when they are telling us stories to illustrate their sermon points.
Even commercials use images. They connect their product to memorable scenes and catchy jingles so we remember their name when we shop. We’d quickly forget a bunch of facts, if we'd even remain attentive in the first place.
We need a system to help us face truth, learn truth, and remember truth. Parables, anecdotes, and stories give us examples to use.
