Note to self: read Ezekiel 36 through 39
There is a time for everything, ecclesiastes 3
Matthew 13:3
The parable of the sower
Jesus explains himself when he tells this parable. The seed that falls on the good soil goes on to also produce a crop.
The sower in this passage is both Jesus and us. The sower is not selective. He gives an equal opportunity to all who receive the seed.
Also, the seed. It's Gods Word. The good news of Jesus Christ. Sometimes we think it ends at salvation, but there's so much more than that. He is a father to the fatherless. A friend to the friendless. His Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light into my path. He shows us the way we should go.
NOTHING can separate us from the love of Christ which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
1 corinthians 10:13
There is always a way out of temptation.
The third place the seed fell, it was among the people that want to be in control of their life. They lack maturity. They have promise, the gifts and abilities are there, but their character has yet to be developed.
The fourth is hearing the Word and following through with it, producing a crop and letting it change their life.
No one is too good for the seed. There is no such thing as wasting the good news on someone.
Only thirty percent are going to say yes to the Lord.. Dont be selective.
