Chapter 4 begins to enter into some of the parables that Jesus taught in. I relate to these more than almost anything in the bible. Things are easier for me to understand with illustrations. The first parable and the longest of chapter 4 is the parable of the sowers. This is probably one of the most used parables in the bible and for good reason. It appeals to everyone and Jesus himself offers and explanation of it.
If you read the text you will of course find that there are 4 seeds which fall in 4 different locations. The seed represents the word, the soil the peoples hearts. You can read the types for yourself. I have always strived to be good soil I hope that I can continue to be.
