A sower went out to sow his Seed
And as he Scattered The grain some of it fell by the path and was trodden on and The Birds of the air devoured it
Some Fell on Rocky Ground and when the plants Sprouted they Withered away because they had no Moisture
and Some Seeds Fell Among Thorns and the Thorns Grew up with the plants and
Choked Them
And Some Seeds Fell in Good soil and the
Plants Grew and Bore Grain
100 Grains Each
This Is what the Parable Means
The Seed is the Word of God
The Seeds That Fell Along the Path Stand for Those who hear but
The Devil Comes and Takes the Message away from Their Hearts in Order to Keep them from Believing and Being Saved
The Seeds That Fell on Rocky ground stand for Those who hear the Message and receive it Gladly
But They have no roots
They Believe Only For a While
When the Time of Testing comes they Fall away?
The Seeds That Fell Among Thorns Stand for Those who hear
But The Worries and Riches and Pleasures of This Life Crowd in and choke Them and
Their Fruit Never Ripens
And the Seeds That Fell in Good soil
Stand for Those who Hear the Message and Retain it in A good and Obedient Heart and They persist until they bear Fruit
