In Matt 13:19-23 Jesus explains His parable of a farmer sowing grain/seed which represents the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ – the Word of God – the truth of the Kingdom of God.  Read His explanation carefully and think about your own life.  What kind of soil are you?

19 The seed that fell on the hard path represents those who hear the Good News about the Kingdom and don’t understand it. Then the evil one comes and snatches the seed away from their hearts.  20 The rocky soil represents those who hear the message and receive it with joy.  21 But like young plants in such soil, their roots don’t go very deep. At first they get along fine, but they wilt as soon as they have problems or are persecuted because they believe the word.  22 The thorny ground represents those who hear and accept the Good News, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the cares of this life and the lure of wealth, so no crop is produced.  23 The good soil represents the hearts of those who truly accept God’s message and produce a huge harvest — thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted.”    Matt. 13:19-23 NLT
