Jesus even frames this parable as being so significant that understanding it will affect how we understand all His other parables. Also, in our discussion of this parable is the challenge that not everyone will be able to understand what Jesus has shared; but with that said, Jesus does not want you or me to be excluded from those given understanding.<\/p>\r\n<p>Let\u2019s read this parable and then discover what Jesus wants to teach us about God within it. Our passage and parable are found in Luke\u2019s gospel, chapter 8, and we will read from the New Living Translation. Starting in verse 4, Luke tells us that:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>4\u00a0<\/sup>One day Jesus told a story in the form of a parable to a large crowd that had gathered from many towns to hear him:\u00a0<sup>5\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cA farmer went out to plant his seed. As he scattered it across his field, some seed fell on a footpath, where it was stepped on, and the birds ate it.\u00a0<sup>6\u00a0<\/sup>Other seed fell among rocks. It began to grow, but the plant soon wilted and died for lack of moisture.\u00a0<sup>7\u00a0<\/sup>Other seed fell among thorns that grew up with it and choked out the tender plants.\u00a0<sup>8\u00a0<\/sup>Still other seed fell on fertile soil. This seed grew and produced a crop that was a hundred times as much as had been planted!\u201d When he had said this, he called out, \u201cAnyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Let\u2019s pause here for a moment, because how Jesus has just concluded this parable challenges us to listen and understand. Jesus finishes by calling out, \u201c<strong>Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\r\n<p>While a skeptic might call Jesus out for excluding those without hearing in this statement, when reading the gospels, it appears as though Jesus healed people before He taught the crowds. When someone who needed healing showed up, Jesus would stop teaching to focus on healing, or at the very least, He would shift the focus of what He was teaching to include healing. Jesus loved healing people.<\/p>\r\n<p>With this in mind, I doubt there was a deaf person in the crowd when Jesus spoke these words, even though there may have been people present who had been deaf when they woke up that morning.<\/p>\r\n<p>This parable emphasizes a number of big ideas. First, Jesus emphasizes a farmer sowing seed. While the farmer is planting seeds in his field, it appears he isn\u2019t overly careful about where the seeds land, since some of the seed lands on less than ideal soil. Some seed lands on a footpath and it couldn\u2019t take root; some seed fell among rocks, but it also couldn\u2019t grow well; and some seed fell among thorns, which allowed it to grow, but not very long.<\/p>\r\n<p>However, from the seed that fell on good soil, the farmer gained a crop that was a hundred times what had been planted.<\/p>\r\n<p>This is a great parable, but it can be interpreted in many different ways beyond simply being a story about a farmer with no underlying meaning attached.<\/p>\r\n<p>Because of this, I believe the disciples wanted clarification, so they ask Jesus what this parable meant.<\/p>\r\n<p>Continuing in verse 9, Luke tells us:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>9\u00a0<\/sup>His disciples asked him <\/strong>[Jesus]<strong> what this parable meant.\u00a0<sup>10\u00a0<\/sup>He replied, \u201cYou are permitted to understand the secrets of the Kingdom of God. But I use parables to teach the others so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>\u2018When they look, they won\u2019t really see.<br>\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0When they hear, they won\u2019t understand.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>11\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cThis is the meaning of the parable: The seed is God\u2019s word.\u00a0<sup>12\u00a0<\/sup>The seeds that fell on the footpath represent those who hear the message, only to have the devil come and take it away from their hearts and prevent them from believing and being saved.\u00a0<sup>13\u00a0<\/sup>The seeds on the rocky soil represent those who hear the message and receive it with joy. But since they don\u2019t have deep roots, they believe for a while, then they fall away when they face temptation.\u00a0<sup>14\u00a0<\/sup>The seeds that fell among the thorns represent those who hear the message, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life. And so they never grow into maturity.\u00a0<sup>15\u00a0<\/sup>And the seeds that fell on the good soil represent honest, good-hearted people who hear God\u2019s word, cling to it, and patiently produce a huge harvest.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Reading this explanation Jesus gives is powerful. Jesus first emphasizes that He teaches in parables so that there is a distinct level of obscurity in the truth He shares. This is to keep people who are uninterested in God\u2019s truth from learning it, and to allow the Holy Spirit room to work in the lives and hearts of those who truly want to hear, understand, and apply Jesus\u2019 teaching.<\/p>\r\n<p>However, Jesus then shares the explanation of this parable. In this parable, the seed represents God\u2019s word and the various places the seed lands represent different types of people that hear Gods word and what they ultimately do with what they hear.<\/p>\r\n<p>But there is a character in this parable that is not explained. Nowhere in Jesus\u2019 explanation do we see Him describe who the farmer represents. This lack of a detail is crucial for us to pay attention to, because if Jesus drew extra significance to this parable, as He does in Matthew and Mark, why would He have intentionally left out who the farmer represents?<\/p>\r\n<p>This is important, because the only description we have for the farmer is that he sowed seed. <strong>Since Jesus tells us the seed represents God\u2019s Word, the farmer is one who shares God\u2019s Word with others.<\/strong> Following this understanding to its logical conclusion, Jesus fulfilled the role of the farmer when He was teaching and preaching the crowds, and the disciples fulfilled the role of the farmer when they were teaching the people following Jesus\u2019 return to heaven.<\/p>\r\n<p>Ultimately, <strong>the farmer is a role that we step in to when we share God\u2019s Word with others.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>What about the Holy Spirit?<\/p>\r\n<p>In one way, the Holy Spirit could be considered the farmer, but I think the Holy Spirit plays a different, more subtle role. In this parable, I believe the Holy Spirit shows up in directing where the seed lands, and in the preparation of the soil where the seeds are able to grow the best. In this parable, similar to how Jesus shared that not everyone would be able to understand His teaching, I believe the Holy Spirit is directly involved in the growth of the seed into being ready for harvest!<\/p>\r\n<p>In this parable, we have another subtle truth. With the Holy Spirit actively working preparing soil, we have the choice of which type of soil we will be. While we might be among the first three types of soil to begin with, when we ask for God\u2019s help, specifically the Holy Spirit\u2019s help, we might discover that a footpath that was too hard to take root becomes broken up enough for the seed to grow. We might also find that with the Holy Spirit\u2019s help, what was once rocky soil has the rocks removed and nutrients added allowing us to grow. And we might also discover that what was once a thorn patch along the side of the road has had the thorns removed allowing us to grow. <strong>With the Holy Spirit\u2019s help, we can grow into maturity regardless of what type of soil we believe ourselves to have been before meeting Jesus.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>As we grow, we are able to step into the farmer\u2019s role and begin spreading God\u2019s word to others. In many ways, this parable describes the mission and methods of Jesus\u2019 disciples and God\u2019s followers. <strong><em>Wherever you are in your growth journey with God, be sure to ask the Holy Spirit for help moving forward!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>God wants the best life for us, and I believe the best life for us in God\u2019s mind is an eternal life in a recreated world. While God is more than willing to walk with us in this sinful world, He wants to help us grow and prepare us for the future sinless world that He desires us to be a part of!<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>As we come to the end of another podcast episode, here are the challenges I will leave you with:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>As I always challenge you to do, intentionally seek God first in your life. Choose to ask the Holy Spirit for help growing with God and intentionally step into the farmer role and share Jesus with others. When we share God with others, we partner with the Holy Spirit and we shouldn\u2019t be surprised when the Holy Spirit shows up to help us spread the great news about Jesus!<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Also, continue praying and studying the Bible for yourself to learn and grow closer to God each and every day. While a pastor, speaker, author, or even a podcaster can share interesting ideas, filter everything you hear and read through the lens of the Bible to discover what God really wants for you. While the Bible might not speak to the technology of our world today, the Bible is amazingly relevant for our culture and for what we face spiritually as humans.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>And as I end every set of challenges by saying in one way or another, never stop short of, back away from, chicken out of, or give up on where God wants to lead you to in your life with Him!<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div>\r\n<p><strong>Flashback Episode:<\/strong> \r\nYear in Luke &#8211;
