Jesus is speaking in parables to the people and it confusing to the disciples as to why and explains that the people have been warned that they would be spoken to in parables and they will probably not understand. The parables all seem to be explaining that we need to truly root ourselves in the Word so that when we are attacked or are tempted what we have sewn cannot be destroyed. Since over time the prophets were blatant in what the people should do Jesus is now telling them in a way that it will only stand out to those who are listening and rooting themselves.
Give thanks to God for all he had done, is doing and will do for his steadfast love endures forever.

Jesus speaks in parables and explains why he is doing it. But I think you hit it correct, those that are listening will understand and interpret the parable in the way God wants them to understand. It all goes back to when he said they have eyes but do not see and ears but do not hear. So, we are to study, listen, and pray to understand the wisdom God is providing us.
The first line says it all, Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, His love endures forever.
