The Secrets of Discipleship in The Parable of the Sower: Who are the birds, and how do we stand against them?
“Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.” Matthew 13:3-4 (NIV) Today we are going to look at the first obstacle to growth in The Parable of the Sower.
When someone asked Jesus why He spoke in parables, He said “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of Heaven have been given to you but not to them.” (Matthew 13:11) What an interesting thought! Jesus told stories that some people would only hear on the surface level, but to others, the secrets of the kingdom of Heaven would be revealed! I don’t know about you, but I want to be one of those people that learn the secrets to God’s kingdom and how I can apply them to my life and in my role as a mom, don’t you?
