The Sower

He said,”The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that,

‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’

Luke 8:10

What is the parable about?

How will people respond to the word of God?

How will people respond to Jesus?

Soil 1 – The path

Immediately the seed falls and is ruined.

There is a spiritual battle going on right now to snatch away the message at the earliest and quickest opportunity.

Soil 2 – The shallow, rocky soil

The message is received with joy but there is no root.

Tough times put your faith on trial and shows what you really believe.

Soil 3 – The shared soil

The message is drowned out by life’s worries, riches and pleasures.

These people look just like us.

Soil 4 – The good soil

The message is received, retained and put into practice.

Our part is to sow that seed.
