The Kingdom’s Fertile Soil (Luke 8:1-15)
Manage episode 430411457 series 1113854
In the parable of the Fertile Soil, Jesus illustrates how different people respond to the Gospel. The seed represents God's Word, and the various soils depict different hearts. Some hearts are hard, indifferent, and quickly lose the message. Others receive it with joy but lack depth, falling away when difficulties arise. Some hearts are choked by life's worries and riches, preventing growth. But the good soil, a receptive and persevering heart, produces a fruitful life by the Word's power. In Luke's Gospel christ is challenging his audience to be see the admittance to the kingdom through the gospel message. It is an exhortation to be tender to the Lord's purpose seeking to do his will as one secured in Christ.
