The Explanation of the Parable of the Sower

Matthew 13:18-23

Jesus said to His disciples: "Hear then the parable of the sower. The seed sown on the path is the one who hears the word of the kingdom without understanding it, and the evil one comes and steals away what was sown in his heart. The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and receives it at once with joy. But he has no root and lasts only for a time. When some tribulation or persecution comes because of the word, he immediately falls away. The seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word, but then worldly anxiety and the lure of riches choke the word and it bears no fruit. But the seed sown on rich soil is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold."

WORD - Reflection
Struck word / Phrase - One who hears the word and understands it.

A true disciple is one who hears his word and understands it. We can become productive in a way that you can. It's the preparation that counts. We have a choice, to be a rock, thorns, or a rich soil, it's obvious that it's the latter. For me, I would love to be a rich soil but there are temptations that come my way and I need to work on that. I have to understand and apply what the Bible is trying to teach and we need to understand that.

Are you productive in the eyes of God? Learn to listen and understand.
