Seed Sown

Yahshua Teaches 

He spoke many things unto them in parables, saying, behold a sower went forth to sow; And when he sowed:

• Some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up.
• Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth; and forthwith they sprung up because they had no deepness of earth; and when the sun was up, they were scorched because they had no root, they withered away.

• Some fell among thorns and the thorns sprung up, and choked them.
• Other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.  The disciples came, and said unto Him, why speak thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but to them it is not given. Whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
 

Therefore, speak I to them in parables, because they seeing see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand; and in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, by hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive, for this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
 

Blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear. Verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
 

Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower

• When any one hear the Word of the Kingdom, and understand it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
   
• He that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that hear the Word, and anon with joy receives it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but endures for a while, for when tribulation or persecution arises because of the Word, by and by he is offended.
   
• He also that received seed among the thorns is he that hears the Word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the Word, and he becomes unfruitful.
   
• He that received seed into the good ground is he that hears the Word, and understands, which also bears fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.  Matthew 13:3-23 (KJV)

Note:  The writer of the Book of Hebrews had more to say regarding a certain person, but could not because the hearers were “dull of hearing”.  Hebrews 5:11 (read the whole chapter).   Let us "break up the fallow ground of our heart" and believe and receive the Word of YHVH.
