(NIV) Luke 8:4-8
4 While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable:
5 “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up.
6 Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture.
7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants.
8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.”
The faith of four people are described here :
Seed on the path eaten by birds
those who hear the word but are persuaded away from it by their “friends”
They have no faith and are lost
Seed on rocky ground
Those who are new or with small faith
Worries of the world may pull them away or their “friends and family” may persecute them
These are the people who need us, their Christian family, to help them mature their faith
Seeds choked by thorns
Those who hear and have strong faith
But as they go on their way, they are choked by life‘s worries, riches and pleasure, and they do not mature
They have faith but take no actions
They produce no fruit
Seeds in good soil
Those who hear and have a strong faith
They take action on their faith
And they produce a crop of new believers
So, which group are you in?
Most of us would like to say that we are the seeds in good soil, but …
too many of us (including me) are seeds choked by thorns because we take no action and produce no fruit.
Which group are you in?
The real test is how fruitful are we?
How fruitful are you?
