The Parables of Jesus
,
,
Parallel passages:
,
,
There are only six parables (out of 46+) that all three Matthew, Mark & Luke write about...
They each captured the story of a sower, the seed and four types of receivers (soil)
Luke 8:4-8
Invasion of the Word Snatchers
Some of the background...
we see four groups of people
we see the writers speaking to our full potential
- a hundredfold
- thirtyfold, sixtyfold, a hundredfold
- a hundredfold, sixtyfold, thirtyfold
The Seed is the Word of God
Luke 8:
Fill in how we received the Bible...
Here’ s a quick list of why the word is important to us...
It is Eternal
Isaiah 40:
Psalm
It is Powerful
Gene
Pslam 33:6
Hebrews 11:3
Hebrews 4:12
- “The sower sows the word.”
- “The sower sows the word.”
The seed is sown into the hearts of the recipients...
,
Notice that this parable starts and ends with the heart!
The Heart is to the Word as Soil is to a Seed
Four Groups in this Parable
All Four
“Hear the Word”
“Receive the Word”
what do they receive it into?
what is the heart of the people like?
Four glass containers… (covered with a cloth to be revealed one at a time)
(one empty)
(one with very little soil & lots of rocks)
(one with soil & thorns)
(one with all soil)
Insert Video Clip from Invasion of the Body Snatchers...
Invasion of the Word Snatchers
First Container… Empty Unsaved People
Luke 8:
Matthew let’s us know that the “wicked one” comes because they do not understand the word
Mt. 13:
The First Invasion of the Word Snatcher....
Lack of Understanding the Word
They do not comprehend the Scriptures
They can not see grace
Veil
2 Corinthians 3:14
Opens people up to demonic interplay
the devil is not omniscient nor omnipresent
his forces are ubiquitous… 1/3 of the host of heaven fell...
1/3 of the host of heaven fell...
Second Group… rocks & stony ground
hear & receive the word with joy (Matthew & Luke) & gladness (Mark)
Luke 8:13
Matthew… “he has no root in himself”
Mark… “they have no root in themselves”
Invasion of the Word Snatcher #2 =
Shallowness...
No depth of soil...
There is not enough soil to allow roots to go down
they are not truly “planted”
PSalm
...and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away.
Matthew & Mark - tribulation or persecution… because of the word - they stumble
Believe in the good times… fall away or stumble when the going gets tough...
Believe in the good times...
It’s easy to believe in a good God in good times
God is just as good in hard times!
God is just as good while we are in the midst of a storm
Don’t allow shallowness to rip you off!
Third Group… thorns...
“go out” = go their own way...
the Invasion of the Word Snatcher #3 = Distraction
Specifically the distraction of blessings or prosperity...
deut
The only difference between the third group and our last group...
State of the individuals heart...
Luke 8:15
Noble & Good Heart
Understand the Word
Accept the Word
Apply the Word
Live the Word
