In Matthew 13:1-23, Luke 8:4-15, as well as Mark 4:1-20 Jesus tells the parable of the sower, explaining 4 types of people who demand heed God’s Word.
The commencement grouping mentioned are those who demand heed God’s Word, but their hearts are similar difficult paths. The Word simply lays at that spot until it is trampled on (Luke 8:5) or until Satan swoops inwards similar a plane as well as steals it.
Birds pocket found seeds because they similar them. Satan steals God's Word because he hates it.
Jesus wants us to know that fifty-fifty though God’s Word is last (Hebrews 4:12), perfect (Psalm 19:7), God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16), eternal (Psalm 119:89), sweet, as well as priceless (Psalm 19:10), unopen to people volition completely refuse it.
But nosotros mustn't allow these hard-path people discourage us from sharing the gospel.
The seed is non the problem. The soil is the problem.
