Jesus actually calls them secrets in Matthew 13:10-16, and he does so because he’s guarding the secrets of the kingdom of heaven. Anyone can understand if they have a seeking heart, open eyes and ears. However, those who have a callous heart will not be open to accepting these secrets.

It’s not my place to teach the understanding of these parables, however I do know a source in which one can begin to understand these parables and that’s in the Bible study I mentioned previously.

If God unguarded these secrets, and made them clear to all then those with a callous heart and wicked men would use them to blaspheme the word of God and even attempt to prevent the fulfillment of Gods prophecies. Remember King Herod when Jesus was born began killing all male baby’s born in Bethlehem after the news of the Messiahs birth in hopes of eliminating Jesus. Mary and Joseph fled to Egypt in the mean time.

If the Bible clearly expressed that the baby’s name would be Jesus in the Old Testament prophecies, then those controlled by the evil one would carry out his will to prevent Gods plans from fulfilling, possibly even killing Jesus before he could fulfill all prophecies of the Old Testament and be crucified.

James 3:1 is why I’m choosing not to share my own interpretation.
