"Why teach in parables? To hide the real meaning. That's right. To hide the meaning. Why would Jesus want to hide the meaning of his parables from the people listening?"

What a great conversation that might be in a Come Follow Me discussion group this week. If you have any ideas, please leave them in the comments below.

Please make sure to check out the link to the Joseph Smith quotes about the parables and how the connect to the restoration of the gospel. You can find them in the Come Follow Me 2023 manual for Individuals and Families.

Also, you should check out this video on the parable of the wheat and tares. (You can skip the first few seconds with clips of bugs) Your class/family might enjoy it:
