The Parable Of The Sower In Matthew 13 - Which Type Of Person Are You?

The seed is the Word of God. More specifically, the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Are you the one who receives the word by the wayside, that never receives it in their heart?

Are you the one who receives the word on the stony ground who receives it, but falls away when things get hard?

Are you the one who receives the word among the thorns, who lets the things of this world take over in their heart and choke and kill the word and becomes unfruitful?

Or are you the person who receives the word in good soil, who brings forth fruit?

Matthew 13:18-23 KJV

18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
