Why is Jesus very implicit regarding his identity?

Why is Jesus very implicit in sharing his identity? In the synoptic gospels Jesus speaks in parables and metaphors and at the end of many of these encounters it is mentioned that the people did not understand what Jesus meant (**Luke 2:49-50, Luke 9:45, Luke 18:34**). Jesus uses various titles and refers to himself as the Son of Man, and calls God his Father. In **Luke 9:20** Jesus asks his disciples who they think he is, they say the Messiah of God, and he leaves it at that, and does not give them further information. Demons he cast out would tell of his identity yet he would silence them (**Luke 4:35, Luke 4:41**) After some of his miracles he tells people not to share what they've seen (**Luke 5:14, Luke 8:56**). People are stumped at his authority to cast out demons, forgive sins, and control the weather, yet he does not explain this to them and leaves them befuddled (**Luke 4:36, Luke 5:21, Luke 7:49, Luke 8:25**) And whenever he does share or speak of his identity, he also does so implicitly, never clearly (**Luke 17:18**). During his temptation he alludes to himself being God when he recites biblical verses. (**Luke 4:12**) There are also confusing verses which might lead us to believe that Jesus is not claiming to be God (**Luke 18:19**). Jesus has no issue exhibiting his supernatural powers either to crowds or to individuals, but in some instances requests that they be kept secret in order to conceal his identity. Jesus tends to be very mystical in his speech -- he speaks in parables and does not expand upon them even if his audience does not understand. Jesus does not correct his followers regarding his identity or directly explain to them who he is. Even if Jesus alludes to his divinity it is always muddy and never a clear-cut and definitive "I am God" or "I am the Messiah". Why is Jesus very vague about his identity and sometimes outright tries to conceal it?
