Jesus gave us this parable of the sower sowing seeds as the key to understanding all His parables (Mark 4:13).
We begin to understand the truths of the importance of God’s inspired Word as this parable is teaching us, We begin to see the change in our lives that we desire as it aligns with our heart in Christ. God’s Word is the seed sown in our hearts through Jesus to effect change in our salvation and in the works we will do together.
And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? The sower soweth the word. And these are they by the wayside, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; and have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended. And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
The word is the incorruptible seed we plant. The word is God breathed.
