Didn't Jesus use the parable periodically as a means of making a point?

[PetroniusMaximus]

***Didn't Jesus use the parable periodically as a means of making a point?***

He did. At it is almost always prefaced with something like, "And he spoke a parable unto them, saying..."

But in the case at hand he is clearly making reference to the historical account of Genesis an not making a parable.
