Parables not meant to convince unbeliever

• Mark 4:10 (ESV)
• Mark 4:11 (ESV)
• Mark 4:12 (ESV)

It seems here that Jesus doesn't want some to repent, or at least the intention of illustrating the Kingdom of God is not to bring repentance.

Instead the law is to bring conviction of sin in the life of the unbeliever.

Speaking about Kingdom stuff is for the insiders. The outsiders need to be confronted with the consequences of living under the law.
