The basic assumption which all expositors seem anxious to secure is certainly right, namely, that the ultimate purpose of a parable is to help and not hinder the apprehension of the truth. But beyond this, we may say that it belongs to the very nature of revelation that the capacity to receive it depends upon the prior surrender and obedience of the will....

Jesus of Nazareth could have chosen simply to express Himself in moral precepts but like a great poet He chose the form of the parable, wonderful short stories that entertained and clothed the moral precept in an eternal form.

Things are different post-Christ. After we see the giving, receiving and resurrection of Christ, there's nothing in the New Testament that leads me to believe this is punishment.
