Matthew Chapter Thirteen

On Line Bible

Time For An Explanation

Here we have a perfect example of how one comes to understand the Word of God. It is only by the God of The Word (John 16:13; Psalm 119:17,18).

THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARABLES

I. Illustration By A Parable - vs.1,8 & 18,23 We note How & Where the Word of God is sown and the results.
a. Sown On The Road - vs.1,4
b. Sown On The Rocks - vs.5,6
c. Sown On The Rotten - vs.7
d. Sown On The Rich/Fertile - vs.8

II. Interpretation Of The Parable- vs.18,23
a. The Word Is Sown - vs.18,19a
b. The Word Is Stolen For Lack of Depth - vs.19b. This represents those who hear but are not rooted. They remain vulnerable.
c. The Word Is Shortened - vs.20,21 This represents those who hear with reservation. Circumstances rule their life.
d. The Word Is Snuffed - vs.22 This represents those who hear with one ear and the other ear turned to the luring riches of the world.
e. The Word Stands - vs.23. This represents those who hear and become doers of the Word.

God's Word is presented as the only means for life that makes life meaningful.
