Synopsis: In an article entitled, Principle Questions, J. J. Dewey states the following:
"It is interesting that one of the main messages of Jesus was about the Kingdom of Heaven, but not once did he give out even one fact about it. All that he said about it was through principles clothed in parables."
JJ also makes another interesting observation in his article Eternal Lives, Chapter 11 in which he says:
"Many people have the idea that Jesus taught in parables to make it easy for the common people to understand what he was talking about,
but here (Matt 13:11-18) he clearly tells us that the purpose of the parable was to give a surface meaning which
would make people think they see and understand, yet the real meaning would lie concealed, which real meaning is one of the 'Mysteries
of the kingdom of heaven.' Thus the people say 'I see,' but see not. They say 'I understand,' but they understand
not just as Isaiah prophesied would be the case."
