Understanding the Parable of the Sower
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 07. 2024
- The Parable of the Sower, or sometimes known as the Parable of the Four Soils, is the first major parable Jesus Christ taught during his ministry. Recorded in three of the four Gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke, it has become a widely known story in the Bible. But for the modern-day reader who might not be familiar with ancient agriculture in Israel, some of the meanings might get lost. This video explains the Parable of the Sower against the backdrop of 1st-century Jewish farming practices.

I am all those types of soil every day, I wake up dry, thorny, grumpy, then I have to fight with all those hungry birds of my own will, laziness, comfort sicker, then I run fast to pray to Jesus to give me anew love for Him, reconnect with Him and soften my rebelios personality with His patience, love and care for every one, even for my mother in law. It's incredible what God can do!
AMEN MY SISTER!🙏🙏🙏
Beautifully written!
I feel the same
Hi Cornelia, I think we all do this in our walk with Jesus. There's one thing I have figured out about myself... I am a frustratingly slow learner, but God is patient and faithful again and again in the times I fail Him. I am so thankful for His love and forgiveness! God bless you!
That's not what it means. The parable is about salvation. Being saved or lost. Some hear the gospel and reject it. Some hear the gospel and believe for a period then walk away from faith. Others hear the gospel and are born again and saved.
Im just beginning to learn the word of the lord, and I’ve never been at more peace. Ty for this ❤️
You are welcome!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️god bless you& your family

Amen! That is wondeful news, thank you for sharing and God bless you! ❤
We're all still learning, I know I am. The more you seek him the closer he gets to you. God is wonderful!!!
Yes Lord help me to be a good example
for your Glory and for my good...
Beautiful message as always. ❤🙏 A good reminder to stay the Word. Be in the this world, not of it.
Thank you!
A most challenging question at the end. This producer knows how to combine stunning visuals, music, and carefully chosen words to bring nourishment and change to his audience unparalleled by any other CZcams I watch. As a subscriber to both this channel and the Savior that I humbly worship, when a new video is announced, I rejoice. And...rewatching is always joyous. The Lord must be pleased with the way Messages of Christ praise Him. They truly let God prevail!
Thank you for the very kind words! We put a lot of effort into each video and it is always a blessing to know that people appreciate them and learn something new!
Even though this video is full of truth, don't be deceived by the Mormon cult. They are Satanic and their origins are rotten.
@@yerasmus4025 Cults don’t let you leave. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints isn’t a cult. Anyone can come and go as they please. And certainly not satanic. Their teachings are centered on Christ and his infinite and eternal atonement. Soften your heart brother and let the bitterness go.
@@rexgooch3883 They are proclaiming a different Gospel. The apostle Paul curses all such, Gal 1:9. We cannot afford to have a soft stand on wolves. And if you are a sheep pulled in by those wolves, then I would lovingly want to pull you from the wolve's beak, even if it hurts you. They are satanic. I am not being emotional. I know what I am talking about. They are preaching a different Jesus and proclaiming a different gospel.
@@yerasmus4025 not satanic, not even close. The fullness of God’s everlasting gospel. Prophets, apostles, temples, faith, ordinances, priesthood authority. All Christ taught and established in his church and restored today.
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
Jeremiah 29:11. I just want to encourage anyone reading this with this scripture. It may seem that things are not working out and that everything is going downhill but trust the Lord. He has a plan for your future and a plan to prosper you and give you a hope. And at just the right time he will bring it to fruition. Trust our loving father. God bless you big!
That's not for everyone. How many people have trusted God and the next day they are in an accident and their kids and spouse killed ... doesn't sound like thoughts of peace to me and I know lots of believers who put stock in this bogus verse only to have their lives ripped up to shreds.
Thank you for this great presentation. It is one of my favorite parables of Jesus. ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
A most beautiful & clear parable--for me at least. The presenter's voice, I admit--pulls me in. No matter the subject. I always look forward to hearing him. But, more importantly, THE MESSAGE! Thank you & stay blessed!🙏
Thank you! Glad you enjoy my voice and he message!
Amen, I was uplifted ...May God continue to surprise you this year 2023
It's never too late to start reading your Bible 📖.It doesn't matter how young or how old you are. Just spend your time wisely. 😊
Starting my day with reading GOD'S word & devotion this year 2022🙏👆😇
Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
Matthew 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
Matthew 13:26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
Matthew 13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
Matthew 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
Matthew 13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
_Jesus sown the good seed. Right after the enemy came and sown the tares among the good seed._
_Good seed = the four Gospels; Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John._
_The tares were sown then after._
_Everyone knows Jesus came and sown the good seed. And everyone knows who came right after Jesus and sown much seed intermingled with what Jesus had sown._
_Many people (instead of following what Jesus had sown) insist upon following that which was sown after Jesus._
_But Jesus said to follow him._
John 10:27 *My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:*
John 10:28 *And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.*
@@KeepingWatch95 amen
@@jhenmercz5710 _The first antichrist came after Jesus and before his disciples passed on._
1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, *even now are there many antichrists;* whereby we know that it is the last time.
1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but *they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.*
_It is clear (and surprising) that the antichrists went out from the disciples of Jesus. Yet they were not of the disciples of Jesus. And they did not continue with the disciples._
*They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.*
_It seems nearly everybody has been indoctrinated to overlook just who it is that did not continue with the disciples._
_For everybody knows Paul did not continue with Jesus' disciples._
_But it seems little know that Paul was indeed, at one time with the disciples, even traveled in and out of Jerusalem with them._
Acts 9:26 *And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples:* but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
Acts 9:27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
Acts 9:28 And *he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.*
_Paul made two attempts to join himself with Jesus' disciples._
_First attempt in Acts 9:26 _*_And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple._*
_Then in Acts 9:27 Barnabas took Paul and brought him to the apostles for a second attempt._
_During the second attempt Paul was indeed with them he had traveled with them: _*_he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem._*
_But why was Paul traveling with them? Because of Acts 9:26 he was trying to join himself to the disciples._
_Yet even though everybody knows Paul (the 13th apostle) did not continue with Jesus' disciples, they're just indoctrinated to overlook it._
Please share some more parables 😍 everytime I hear it when I’m sleeping,it helps me to sleep peacefully 🥰🥰
Such a great way of explaining it. I never heard anyone say how God helps us fight against the thorns and birds, which is him helping us fight our sin that can actually make us fall away. Thank you for that awesome word!
(Ephesians 2:2) This scripture revers to satan as the prince and power of the air…
It really does make sense that the birds of the air are symbolic of the evil one that devours the seed sown along the path.
@@pogieagle5608 good catch!
@@pogieagle5608 Also interesting that they say Dragons aka Dinosaurs are part bird. Considering the nickname of Satan. Only some birds live how Jesus wants us to live..like Cardinals working together and having one mate for life. I believe there's links with good and evil there with the birds..
Praise Jesus for his teaching!!
Thank You Messages of Christ Team. Your videos are amazing. Most videos are kept under 10min which I personally really like, and still gain a wealth of understanding in a short period of time.
So happy to hear you have enjoyed them!
Dear Messages of Christ, I'm really Grateful for being one of your Subscriber. You're very Good in presenting the Bible visually.
Thank You.
You are welcome! Glad you subscribed and that you enjoy the videos!
The explanation of the parable is so clear. It penetrates down to my inner core.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@messagesofChrist I made a presentation on my small group following your video and they are amazed. Specially on the place called cove of the sower and how the natural acoustic it produce. Also how your explanation on the ancient method of farming. I hope you have another video like this. My small group is currently discussing the parables each week.
Thank you 🙏
The true meaning of the parable of the sower is this: when anyone hears the message regarding the Kingdom and does not understand it - the evil one (the selfhood) snatches away what was sown in his heart; this is what was sown along the path.
As for what was sown on rocky ground - this is he who hears the message and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no root in himself - but endures for a while - and when tribulation or persecutions come on account of the message - immediately he falls away.
As for what was sown among thorns - this is he who hears the message - but the cares of the world and the delight in riches - choke the message and it bears no fruit.
As for what was sown on good soil - this is he who hears and receives the message and understands it; he indeed bears fruit - and yields - in one case a hundredfold - in another - sixty - and another thirty fold.
Finally an upload from this channel is always a blessing

One of my favorite parables
An excellent video and resource, shared with my life group! Thank you!
Thank You For The Great Video.
God Bless you and your Family.
The Sower of seeds the infite wisdom of divine blessings. I often think of those parables in times that make me appreciate life's challenges in this world and the next, are we not in awe that the story of Yashua survives over 2000 years thru out history, culture, a story that bears more fruit, more blessings and has fed the faith of hundreds of millions even billions of hungry souls thru the WORD of YAHUAH. Name any man in history in any field whose story and memory survive the same, the Sermon on the Hill has shared the same the baskets of spiritual understanding were not just loaves and bread to feed the appetite of those he taught, thru faith his teachings and examples, his life was full of divine messages, the Word of God.
Thank you Jesus for today and thank you for my husband and our children I love them keep them safe thank you

God bless you :)
That was good! Such an easy yet effective and convicting explanation given of this Parable, thank you!
You are welcome!
Thank you so much for this explanation, I was so confused about the entire point of this parable
You are welcome! Glad it helped you better understand it!
Perfect message 👏👍. God bless you 🙏
Thank you!
The parables were like a puzzle to me ❤️
This has always been a message of being fruitful in the salvation you are given. I have seen others teach this as someone that is not saved except the fruitful one. They miss the edifying and encouragement by doubting the gospel of Jesus. I will also add that we go through different seasons in life.. If you are rooted and grounded in love by the faith you have in Jesus, He will be fruitful in us, and we will always get back up.
Thank you for sharing!❤️🙏🏾 God bless.
I bind one not to give up to hold on to God and his promises for one's life in my life, the lives of my family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, acquintances, opponents and the body of Christ while binding to hell every unbelief, prioritizing worldly things or giving up, binding to hell being unequally yoked and having any common share with those in unbelief, prioritizing worldly things or giving up, in accordnace with this word and luke 8:15, 2 corinthians 6:14-18 in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah!
Thank you Jesus

It is 30 years since I received Jesus as my Saviour.🙏
how you received ?
@@MG-hg1sqYou must believe the gospel...that he died on the cross for your sins, was buried and then rose again on the third day according to the scriptures
thanks for the correct answer, because many have a false gospel today, adding any works, conditions :) @@dogmutty2
Thank you for this beautiful explanation

I get it now! I had 2 fruitful years. I preserved and canned, but I didn’t fulfill his word or observe the sabbath! The 4th commandment says observe the sabbath and keep it holy. I I understand now.

wow it would be wonderful, if you were able to do the some to all the parables in the bible. This broadened my understanding of parables. Very detailed. I had to share it with others.
I do hope to do that eventually. Hopefully later next year or the following.
All the Glory be to God!
Amen!
Very helpful 📖🕊
Hi! What is the background music you used here called? It's beautiful!
great lesson
In the beginning the Word was with God and the Word was God ❤❤❤❤❤
Once received, the love of God must be shared. If indulged in only for oneself, it will nourish for a day but that is all. If shared, it will sprout and bear fruit in the lives of others, and the sharer will also partake of their spiritual fruit and be filled again and again. If you have partaken of the love of God, share it with others so you and they and all they share it with can feast together.
Beautifully written.

Mark 4:13
And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
Jesus spoke in parables to the masses
But explained all to his disciples!

WHEN THE WORD OF GOD HAS BEEN WELL RECEIVED BY US.... THAT IS THE WORD THAT WILL SURELY BEAR FRUIT.... AND YOU CAN SEE THE RESULTS OF IT AFTER BEING IN HEAVEN LATER
Yep!
When Jesus says "the evil one", as you had mentioned here, is he referring specifically to Satan as an individual, or is it more of a metaphor, or third, referring to evil in a general sense, anti-christrian, literally ? Thanks.
Good question. I personally think it is a little of both. This speaks soil speaks of those who don't understand the word and I think sometimes it's a simple as the listener just does not care enough to learn, so more of the situation of the individual. While at other times I think Satan may lead them to give up on learning, even if they have started on the path. I saw this many times when I preached the word to others. So often the moment they started learning it just seemed like Satan was working his best to put obstacles in their path. Trials, doubts, financial problems, etc. would just show up once they started learning.
@@messagesofChrist thanks I appreciate that perspective. You have unique insights, and I always enjoy learning something more than I thought I knew about christ.
Satan has his own seeds and crops of unrighteousness. These can be seen in modern society with the undoing of God's laws, confusing the sexes, violence and etc.
Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
Matthew 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
Matthew 13:26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
Matthew 13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
Matthew 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
Matthew 13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
_Jesus sown the good seed. Right after the enemy came and sown the tares among the good seed._
_Good seed = the four Gospels; Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John._
_The tares were sown then after._
_Everyone knows Jesus came and sown the good seed. And everyone knows who came right after Jesus and sown much seed intermingled with what Jesus had sown._
_Many people (instead of following what Jesus had sown) insist upon following that which was sown after Jesus._
Wow help me God to become that pure soil
🙏
Should we stop farming or planting every few years?
I'm living in a place where if you talk about the Gospels of God, people make fun of you, or even worse you will be shunned and criticized. You cannot even buy a decent bible from a "Religious Bookshelf" in any bookstore. It is just all the fake facade of respecting religious equality. So, I decided to make small changes one at a time. I was starting to read the Bible thoroughly and told some stories from the bible to my family. At first, they didn't listen to me. Luckily no criticisms at all, they thought I took God as a way to infuse my life with a little excitement though. I kept talking about God from sunup to sundown, praying God would enlighten my family to find him. I prayed to God to give some hints of his existence before my family. One night when I was sleeping, I had a dream about my older sister being pregnant with a baby boy. I told her about it and it became reality. Last week, her stomach was upset, she prayed to get better, then a voice said to her, which she quoted 'Remember, you have only one God to worship.' Then her pain got away, she became better. It's so incredible. From now on my family asked me to talk more about God as they wanna find him.
I realized no matter how challenging it would be, it's worth your life spreading Jesus's mercy. Jesus is for everyone, we deserve to know and find him. To people from anti-Jesus countries, you're not alone, don't lean on the world's rules, but hold on to God's words. To people from developed countries, you're so lucky to live in freedom to talk about God without getting criticism. Don't let any political-targeted theories grab you far away from God.
I just wanna say thank you to "Messages of Christ" for always making a good interpretation of God's words. I've learned a lot from this great channel. God bless you
What a beautiful story! Thank you for your willingness to do your part in sharing the good news. And so happy to know you have appreciated the videos!
