Jesus used parables as storytelling tools to describe the Kingdom of Godwith earthly stories. Jesus told them in order to provoke our imaginations and get us thinking.
Today we are looking at The Parable of the Sower, a well-known narrative told in the Gospels—the books of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. It’s a story depicting how seeds grow in different soils, or rather, how faith grows in the hearts of believers and their environments. May God enlighten our heart with His truth as we study in Jesus Name.
