Mark 4:1-20 And again He began to teach by the sea. And a great multitude was gathered to Him, so that He got into a biat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole multitude was on the land facing the sea. Then He taught them many things by parables, and said to them in His teaching: "Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow. "And it happen, as he sowe, that some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds if the air came and devoured it. :Some fell on stony ground, where it did not have much earth; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of earth. "But when the sun was up it was scorched, and because it had no root it withered away. "And some seed fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up and chocked it, and it yielded no crop. "But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased abd produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred." And He said to them, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!" But when He was alone, those around Him with the twelve asked Him about the parable. And He said to them, "To you it has been given to know the mtstery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables, "so that 'Seeing they may see and not perceive, And hearing they may hear and not understand; Lest they should turn, And their sins be forgiven them.' And He said to them, "Do you not understand this parables? How then will you understand all the parables? "The sower sows the word. "And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown, When they hear, Satan comesimmediately and takes aways that was sown in their hearts. "These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with gladness; "and they have no root in themself, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution aruses fir the wird's sake, immediately they stumble. "Now these are the ones sown amoung thorns; the are the ones who hear the word, "and the cares if this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word , and it becomes unfruitful. "But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit: sine thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred."
"But when the sun was up it was scorched, and because it had no root it withered away. - the same sunlight that killed the plant is the same sunlight that causes the plant to priduce food and grow. Trials can either kill or grow us - thedifference is how deep our roots (foundation) is. Are we established on the Wrod? Read your Bible today? Lay strongfoundations for yourselves and your sheep =D Mark 6:19 this life causes the plant to produce no crop. It doesn't say 'little crop' 'but no cropat all'. Ahalf hearted pursuit of God priduces nothing at all. May Gen1.4 be a whole-hearted generation that will rock this land with 100-fold harvests!
