To YOU the sacred secret of the kingdom of God has been given, but to those outside all things occur in illustrations, 12 in order that, though looking, they may look and yet not see, and, though hearing, they may hear and yet not get the sense of it, nor ever turn back and forgiveness be given them.”

That seems to say that the sacred secrets can not be illustrated, as in, they can`t be explained using parables or stories or worldly examples as illustrations to help one understand them.so some other way of understanding must be used.

That sounds like the sacred secrets were intentionally designed to be not illustratable so that people would not be able to see or hear (understand and get a sense of ) them even if they tried too,and to prevent them from turning back and seeking forgiveness.
It seems that the sacred secrets were intended for only very few people to "hear" and understand them.
(Ephesians 3:4-6) 4 In the face of this YOU, when YOU read this, can realize the comprehension I have in the sacred secret of the Christ. 5 In other generations this [secret] was not made known to the sons of men as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by spirit, 6 namely, that people of the nations should be joint heirs and fellow members of the body and partakers with us of the promise in union with Christ Jesus through the good news.
The further unveiling of the sacred secret shows us that Jesus Christ at his resurrection was granted a spirit body with immortality, something only his Father Jehovah had, before Jesus came to earth to die. And the fact, that each and every one of the anointed from earth who go to heaven to rule with Christ in kingdom glory will also receive immortal spirit bodies:
John 20:
19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.
Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
Luke 24:
5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen!"
.....
36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a spirit. 38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in their presence.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. John 1:1-2
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14

So when you wrote "shows us that Jesus Christ at his resurrection was granted a spirit body with immortality, something only his Father Jehovah had, before Jesus came to earth to die", we can see here the error in your words. The Word, who existed from the beginning, was made flesh.
