PHIMAllY TOPIC-Jesus tolling a story
about sowing seed.
lMUMAltY MEMOItY VEIISR-Bo yo
uoers of tho word. Jaitios 1:22.
Jesus tells us plnlnly why ho taught
so much by means of pnrnbles ( Matt.
13:10-13). Tho truth had to bo taught;
hence tho parable, that thoso to whom
It was given to know tlio messnges of
tho kingdom, thoso who sought It,
might know nnd understand, and thnt
to the others It might bo hidden (Mark
4:11, 12). Like all his parables, Jesus
draws his pictures from tho common
experiences of life tho field, tho homo,
etc. Paul draws his Illustrations chief
ly from the city, tho nrmy, tho market.
In studying this lesson wo must turn
to the parallel account ns given by
Luko nnd Matthew to get tho full and
completo picture.
What Is tho seed? Luko says that
Jesus told his disciples that tho seed
was the Word of God (Luko 18:11).
Wo get tho eamo thought In verso four
teen of tho lesson. A grent deal la be
ing made today of seed selection. Somo
wonderful results havo been obtained.
How much moro Important for thoso of
us who deal with Immortal souls that
we select tho best seed, I. o., tho Word
of God.
The second consideration Is tho
sower (v. 4). Notice ho went forth not
to "soar," not is It recorded that ho
was "soro" becauso tho pcoplo did not
all rccclvo tho seed alike. lie did not
havo a grouch; ho did not enter Into
his work that ho might receive tho'
adulation of men (Mutt. 0:2). It Is,
however, the "soil" thnt seems to bo,
most emphasized In both tho direct
teaching and also tho explanation of
tho parable. Thero ore four kinds ofj
sou. Tho manner by which tho seed
came Into contact with each kind of
soil Is significant. Some fell "by" the
wnysldo; the path was welt trodden:
the ground was preoccupied; e. g., It
was used for other purposes than to
yield a harvest; it was hard to be
broken, and hence It was an easy mat
ter for the birds of the air (r. 16) to
come and pluck It away. We need to
remember that If men receive with
meekness the Implanted word, there!
will, of course, be no such opportunity
for the-evil one. The trouble la this
ease was that the Word was-'not Im
planted. Thus It la that one-fourth of
the seed Is lost The result Is a deplor
able one aa we tee from Heb. 2:1-4.
Is the soil of our life so bard that Ood
must drive the plowshare clean
through It ere there Is a chance for the
aeed to take root? (Ps. 120:8).
The next fell "on" the rocky ground.
The first Is a plcture.of the hardened,
and this Is a picture of the superficial
hearer. For a time they did run well.
They even received tho Word with
gladness (v. 16), but they had no sta
bility because they had no root They
were superficial. Thero was no chanco
for the seed to get a real grip on their
Uvea. The earth yields Its Increase
though we do not understand. So God
wlH add hla OS per cent to our 6 per
cent The oak tree comes, from small
eed.
In the third place Jesus speaks of
the aeed that fell "among" the thorns.
Here la the worldly aeu. it m not so
mach the character of the aoU, It la
the character of that which already oc
cupied the soil ero the sower sowed
the aeed. The cares of this world, the
deceltfulnesa of riches and "other
things" had so entered In that the,
good aeed never had a chance in the
soil of the human heart It was chokod
and yielded no fruit" There waa no
real grip of tho will, no whole-hearted
surrender, Tho cares of llfo thnt keep
the housewife or the business man;'
the deceltfulncss of riches thnt snaro
men and choko tho word which nt ono
time gave such promlso In their lives;
tho lusts nnd other things which tho
evil one knows so well how to uso keep
us from the Word, for Satan knowa ;
that by It wo aro to bo saved (Luko
18:12). Aro wo Impulsive? Do wo
make vows soon forgotten, tics that
soon fado away or full beneath tho
temptations for lack of root? May
God blast nnd turn up tho subsoil of
our hearts by strong convictions of sin,
and so occupy tho coll that thero la no
opportunity for other things.
We havo thus seen three-fourths ot
tho seed lost. Of the remaining
fourth, that which fell "Into" (It V.)
tho good soil, not all yielded tho samo
return. It nil brought forth (v. 7) ; It
all yielded ; It all sprang up, but not all
In the eamo ratio.
There are three distinguishing fea
tures of this last kind of hearers : (1)
They hear the Word. These nro the
ones who appreciate its value nnd give
good heed to Us precepts. (2) Thoy ac-
ccpt it e. g. they understand Its tench- ,
"" MCJ uuu ll 1UIV fclJUU UUU UUU-
st hearts. (8) Thoy hold It fast
(Luke 8:10 It, V.) Theso aro the
ones of which martyrs are made.
