Parable of the Sower - Gospel of Mark 4:3-20
Parable: Mk:4:3,4
Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
Explanation of the parable by Christ:
Mk 4:14 ,15
The sower soweth the word. And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
Have you heard the gospel at some time? Listened to a preaching of the Bible? Have you read the Bible itself? Has some friend spoken to you of Christ?.
Behonest…WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER? A little... something... Anything at all?!
If we asked some people what do they know about Jesus Christ, and if they understand why he died on the cross... or what they know regarding the love of God towards them... they are astounded and respond hesitatingly: - Yes, I believe that at some time I heard something about that... but the truth is I don’t remember a lot...
Because God is merciful, to all human beings, in some moment of our lives He confronts us with His Word, The Bible. In some opportunity of our life the message of salvation through Jesus is presented to us, and in that moment... the Word is sown in our heart."
Those thoughts of God, are in our heart hoping to flourish... but a great tragedy happens! It is stolen!. It was there for a brief time... but it was snatched with the speed of a bird! When we would at least ask ourselves what does this want to tell me, I have nothing to meditate about, the seed has disappeared!.
As in the road that seed was tramped by our countless mundane thoughts, and the devil, the enemy of the souls, came swiftly to take it... so that you don't remember the word of God, because he knows well that the salvation of your soul depends on if you understand the message of Jesus Christ.
If the seed of the Word of God at some time was sown in your heart, but now there is no longer there, or it is a blurred memory:
You have to realize that God will make you responsible for rejecting its message. You cannot be excused because you don‘t remember, because voluntarily you are allowed it to be stolen.
Perhaps tomorrow you won’t remember the words that today you are reading... neither of the verses of the Bible that you have beengiven, because once again your heart will lose them... and if you lose the message of God... you will also lose your soul forever.
Find GOD today! Allow the Word of God to flourish in your heart. Read the Bible, listen to its voice, meditate on Christ's history crucified for your sins, believe it with faith! and it will flourish in you. and it will bring forth fruit from within you.
I beg ofyou: Don't reject the words of Christ!
John:12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken,the same shall judge him in the last day.
