The necessity to compile and appraise the parables of our Lord Jesus Christ is based on the fact that they are often overshadowed by the text of other narrations in the bible that the attention that need to be expend on them diminishes, as the urge to progress in scripture search overwhelm our concentration on them and prevent us to adequately dig deep into the wisdom and the lessons that we need to draw out of them.
In this compilation, the author brings out the vast knowledge and wisdom that are hidden in these wonderful stories of life that is meant to give us a better understanding of the purpose for which the gospel is being preached and to lead us to a greater height of the knowledge of the deep things of God.
There are so many technicalities in these parables that not many readers of the bible would probably be able to dig deep enough to strike the treasure that are hidden in them. Every parable of our Lord Jesus Christ is related to the entire body of the scriptures. It is therefore a necessity that every reader of the scripture should be able to discern the richness in them as they bring to limelight the soul of the entire purpose of God which is about the establishment of a kingdom in which the will of God is put in place and dominion given to the Christ and His redeemed saints.
As we read this compilation, we will begin to see these parables as the forefront of the theme of the gospel and not just a story telling exercise.
