Our paragraph topic is: (Parable of the sower explained) Part 1.
And now for those who do not understand Christ explains the parable to his disciples and to those in the crowd that are listening. Christ said OK, I will give you the message that you may understand. He said OK, because they asked it of him. He said OK, because they showed interest in what was being said. He said OK, because they sought to know the meaning of the parable.
Christ said, "Hear, therefore, the parable of the sower. When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, but does not understand it, the wicked one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is he who was sown by the wayside.
And so they were told. And so, it was given to them. And so, their eyes were opened and their ears heard the meaning of the message. The seed was sown. Would it be taken away? Would they understand even though it was given to them? Would they hold to the message that was given to them? The message was given to them to keep in their hearts and to defend against the attacks of the wicked one who would seek to take away what was given them.
Are you the one sown by the wayside? Did you loose what was planted in your heart? Christ has given you the message. Will you receive it? Will you nurture it? Will you feed it that it may grow? Or will it be taken from you? Sown by the wayside. Christ loves you even more.
