The Parable of the Sower Explained (Luke 8:11-15) NKJV
"Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. But the ones ont he rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who beleive for a while and in time of temptation fall away. Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches and pleausres of life and bring not fruit to maturity. But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience."
I really like this parable because it reminds me of my journey to Christ and to fully accepting God's Word in my life. I have been in the position, where I heard God's Word and it was as if everything went in one ear and out the other. I have been in the position...where I thought I received Christ but quickly back slided when life got difficult. Finally, I've reached a place where I'm growing...bearing spiritual fruit. It feels like my life story...kind of hits home.
