Why is the revelation of God through parables important?

Answered in 1 source

The use of parables by Jesus helps reveal truths about the kingdom of heaven to those who have ears to hear while concealing them from the wise and prudent.

Jesus' teaching through parables serves a profound purpose; it is both a means of revelation and concealment. As indicated in Matthew 13:34-35, He teaches in parables to fulfill the prophecy that some truths would be hidden from the wise and revealed to babes. This method allows those whom God has chosen to understand the deep truths of His kingdom while remaining hidden from those who reject His authority. By using parables, the Lord encourages contemplation and deeper insight into the mysteries of the faith.
