The Parable of the sower, like all other Jesus' parables , always seem to have Jesus using a peculiar phrase that seems to peep from the pages.. " ...he who has ears let him hear.."
well this is what i thought I heard when I re-looked at the parable..But it is rather clear on its own

Those on the road side are non believers who intellectually absorb the message but before they can absorb or believe it the devil distracts and steals it from them

Those who are on stony ground are believers who hear the word, stick with it for a while, and when they are made to stand or deny it, get angry at God for putting them to the test ..and give up

Those who have thorns are those believers who hear the word,believe it and actually start it growing well but then the distractions of this life, money Riches, fleshly pleasures kill the growing fruit and loose it all together

Those in good ground are those believers who hear it, believe it with an honest and truthful heart, and patiently bring out fruit. Some thirthy fold, some sixty fold and the really good ones a hundred fold...


when was the last time you evidently impacted someone with the word..?
