(Luke
8:11) Now the parable is this: The seed is the
word of God.
THE
PARABLE OF THE KINDS OF OUR RECEPTION OF
THE SEED (WORDS)
THAT
FALL ON/INTO THE GROUND (SOIL, DIRT) IN OUR
MINDS (THOUGHTS)
(Matt
13:1-3) The same day went Jesus out of the house, and
sat by the
sea side [in a teaching mode; water is a symbol of the Holy
Spirit].
And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that
he went into
a ship, and sat [and taught]; and the whole
multitude stood
on the shore [on dry ground] [1]. And he [Jesus]
spake many things unto them in parables [Gk:
(symbolically), a
fictitious narrative of common life conveying a moral], saying,
Behold, a
sower [a farmer, one who scatters seed] went
forth to sow
[Gk: scatter seed];
1.
(Luke
5:4) Now when he had left speaking [teaching to the
multitude],
he said unto Simon [Heb: hearing], Launch
out into the
deep [Gk: profound: depth], and let down your
nets [the
Word of God] for a draught.
a.
(Rom
10:17) So then faith [Gk: belief] cometh by hearing
[(literally)], and hearing [unerstanding]
by
the word [Gk: rhema] [revelation] of God.
b.
(Matt
13:47-50) Again, the kingdom of heaven [the kingdom
of of God]
is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and
gathered of
every kind: Which, when it was full, they [the
angels]
drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels
[my
1961 (prophetic?) dream in Saudi Arabia and UFOs? or, anybody’s guess?],
but cast the bad away. So shall it be at the end of the
world
[Gk: aion]: the angels shall come forth [“shall
be
revealed in us” Rom 8:18 & 1 Thes 1:7-12], and sever
the
wicked from among the just [Gk: righteous], And shall
cast
them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and
gnashing of
teeth.
2.
(Matt
13:18) Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
THE
SEED (WORDS) OF GOD THAT FALL BY THE WAY
SIDE IN OUR MINDS (THOUGHTS)
(Matt
13:4) And when he sowed [seeds
- words], some seeds fell by the way side [Gk:
road side,
pathway] [“and it was “trodden down” Luke 8:5], and the fowls
[unclean
spirits, demons, fallen angels] came and devoured them up:
1.
(Matt
13:19) When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and
understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one
[“Satan”
Mark 4:15; “the devil” Luke 8:12], and catcheth away that which
was sown
in his heart [Gk: fig. the thoughts or feelings, the mind]
[“lest
they should believe and be saved” Luke 8:12]. This is he
which
received seed by the way side.
THE
SEED (WORDS) OF GOD THAT FALL UPON THE
STONY GROUND IN OUR MINDS (THOUGHTS)
(Matt
13:5,6) Some [seeds - words] fell upon stony
places [Gk:
rocky], where they had not much earth [i.e.,
mostly rocks]:
and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness
[Gk:
profundity /// profund (as going down)] of earth [of
their mind]: And when the sun [enlightenment]
was
up, they were scorched [Gk: burned]; and because
they had no
root [“I am the root… and the bright and morning star” Rev
22:16,
i.e., no Jesus Christ], they withered away [Gk:
dessicated,
shriveled: dry up] [i.e., they had no Holy Spirit].
1.
(Matt
13:20,21) But he that received the seed into stony places,
the same
is he that heareth the word, and anon [Gk:
immediately]
with joy [Gk: delight] receiveth it; Yet
hath he not
root in himself, but dureth [endures] for
a while
[Gk: temporarily]: for when tribulation
[Gk:
pressure] or persecution ariseth because of the word,
by
and by he is offended [of God and is] [Gk: entrapped,
tripped up,
stumbles, enticed to sin].
THE
SEED (WORDS) OF GOD THAT FALL AMONG THE
THORNS IN OUR MINDS (THOUGHTS)
(Matt
13:7) And some [seeds - words] fell among thorns;
and
the thorns sprung up, and choked [Gk: to stifle (by
overgrowth)
/// to strangle: take by the throat] them [the
seeds]:
1.
(Matt
13:22) He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth
the
word; and the care [Gk: distractions] of
this world,
and the deceitfulness [Gk: delusions] of
riches, choke
[Gk: to stifle (by overgrowth) /// to strangle: take by the
throat] the
word, and he becometh unfruitful [Gk:
barren: without
fruit].
THE
SEED (WORDS) OF GOD THAT FALL INTO THE GOOD
GROUND (SOIL)
IN OUR
MINDS (THOUGHTS)
(Matt
13:8,9) But other [seeds - words] fell into good
ground,
and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold,
some
thirtyfold. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear [understand].
1.
(Matt
13:23) But he that received seed into the good ground
is he
that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also
beareth
fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold [“much
fruit” John
15:5], some sixty [“more fruit” John 15:2],
some
thirty [“fruit” John 15:2].
(Matt
13:51) Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things?
They say unto him. Yea, Lord.
(Mark
4:13) And he said unto them, Know [Gk: understand]
ye
not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
(Luke
8:8) And when he had said these things, he cried, He that
hath ears
to hear, let him hear.
Amen
