It is very difficult to a man to humble himself or herself to God.
2 CHRONICLE 7:14
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Although we can hear to the people that they surrender all to God.
It is hard for them to surrender what they clearly understand in the words of God.
And so they are saying God is not speaking in parables.
How about what the people speak that they are willing to surrender all to God?
This is what the Lord God said.
ISAIAH 29:13
13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
Even the Lord Jesus saw it.
MATTHEW 15:8-9
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
In The Old Testament, God the Father is speaking in parables (Psalms 78:2 & Ezekiel 20:29).
In the New Testament the Lord Jesus is speaking in Parables too (Mark 4:34)
MATTHEW 13:10-13
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
Can you tell this to Lord Jesus?

That means NOTHING in the New Testament can be understood directly. ZERO.
