Luke 8:4-15
It seems to me that is Jesus describing what happens to different people when they hear the gospel. The differences seem all to reside in the people, at least in three cases, not in what God was doing. God isn’t even mentioned. Doesn’t mean He’s inactive, just means differences aren’t because of what He does.
Any thoughts?
My thoughts in a Bible study?
The title is fairly narrow.
Seems to be one parable, but then any time seeds/grain/etc are mentioned I suppose it relates.
Seeds in general are a repeating theme in the Bible.
I suppose we start with the natural and see if we can arrive at the supernatural. The seeds can first (at creation) and it was only at the parable of the sower that the hidden meaning of seeds was revealed.
Genesis 1:9 kjv
9. And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry
land appear: and it was so.
10. And God called the dry
land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that
it was good.
11. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed,
and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed
is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
Luke 8:4-15 is our starting text.
Luke 8:9 kjv
9. And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
Why start with verse 9? This is the first chance anyone other than Jesus speaks.
Verses Luke 8:4-8 are the parable and the
Cry:
(Let him who has ears to hear let him hear).
So what did they hear? They asked? What?
