Parables Bible Study | Where Am I Planted?

Like seed scattered across the ground, the truths of the Kingdom have been thrown out far and wide. And yet, not all those who have heard the good news have received it. While the Gospel flourishes in some hearts, it flounders in others. The seed stays the same. It’s the soil that makes all the difference. Jesus' first parable – like all those that come after – puts our hearts under the microscope. Will we accept the truth and let it grow down into our souls?

The Gospel writers tell us that Jesus was familiar with the power of stories. A Lost Son. A Pearl of Great Price. A Good Samaritan. A Mustard Seed. Jesus used these images – and so many others! – to point us toward the realities of His Kingdom. While we may be tempted to turn the Kingdom into a complex system of doctrine, Jesus shows us again and again that the Kingdom can be as simple as a story.
