Message: In the parable of the sower, there are people who have a heart, their spiritual ears, which will be able to receive the Word of God. Jesus is addressing those in need of a Savior and heart for the kingdom of God. The parable has truth to be heard by the spiritual deaf, who become curious to understand the story and become drawn to God's Word. Israel is given as an example of God's decision to place them in slavery to open their spiritual ears. Jesus encourages us to learn from this example to accept God's Word and gain the ability to discern the mysteries of the gospel. To become trees of righteousness, check the condition of your soil, is it fruitful, does it accept the seed, which is the Word of God, does it give glory to God? Good soil makes God a priority, it pursues relationship. Trusting in salvation is to receive life, otherwise all life can be taken, even though it seems certain to remain without a decision. When you hear the cry of Jesus, God is giving your a moment, respond, do not waste it!!
Scripture: Luke 8: 8-11 "But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded a crop a hundredfold.” When He had said these things He cried, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” Then His disciples asked Him, saying, “What does this parable mean?” And He said, “To you it has been given to know the [f]mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that ‘Seeing they may not see, And hearing they may not understand.’ - NKJV
