The Parable of the Sower

 Mark 4:1-20

He taught them many things by parables, and in his teaching said: “Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.  Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain. Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times.” Then Jesus said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”

they may be ever seeing but never perceiving,  and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!’

Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.

Why?

Jesus preached so many teaching, but most people do not understand. Most people like miracles. But more important is to get eternal life.

How?

Am I a good soil of Gospel? I have to humble myself and listen to the words of the Lord, then I could be good soil of the teaching from the Lord.
