Metaphors, Analogies and Parables
Jesus told parables which essentially are an earthly story with a heavenly meaning.
You could say that He was painting a picture with stories in the natural that had a parallel meaning to a spiritual truth.

Metaphors are similar except we paint the image. We paint something that we can relate to in the natural that helps understand a spiritual truth.

Examples:
The Samaritan Woman – Waterpots
Oysters and Pearls.
