Mark 4-5

Mark 4: 33-34
And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.  But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

     Jesus spoke in parables so that those who didn’t know God could understand.  In order to communicate with others, we need to know about them and the things that they understand.  As travelers, everything we learn about other cultures helps us relate to all people.  This includes learning about history as well as current events, language, food, customs, and even other religions.  You can’t relay an idea to someone using a parable that only you understand.
