The Four Soils

The Four Soils

As Jesus was teaching crowds on the shores of Galilee, He began to tell a parable about a farmer sowing seeds. The farmer sowed his seed into four different types of soil, yet only one yielded a crop. Not everyone in the crowd understood His meaning, however, and even His own disciples needed Him to explain this to them. But in the end, we find that this timeless parable is a tale about our own hearts in response to God’s Word.

Mark 4:32
In yesterday’s episode, Jesus was shown extravagant love and honor by a sinful woman who entered a home and wiped the Lord’s feet with her tears and hair before bathing them in expensive perfume. Jesus used this occasion to teach those gathered with him – many of them religious leaders who felt they were righteous and justified by their works – a lesson about forgiveness and the proper response of those who have received it. Today we’ll hear Jesus teaching about different ways in which God’s Word is received and what happens to the seeds planted in different kinds of soil.
