module 3 - the parable of the sower Flashcards
What types of ground did the seeds fall on in the Parable of the Sower?
The seeds fell on four types of ground: the path, rocky ground, among thorns, and good soil.
What happened to the seeds that fell on the path?
The birds came and ate up the seeds that fell along the path.
Why did the seeds on rocky ground dry up and die?
The seeds on rocky ground sprouted quickly because the soil wasn’t deep, but they dried up when the sun came up because they didn’t have deep roots.
What choked the seeds that fell among thorns?
The thorn bushes grew up and choked the plants that sprouted from the seeds.
What was the result of the seeds that fell on good soil?
the seeds that fell on good soil bore grain and produced a crop, with some yielding a hundred, some sixty, and others thirty times what was sown.
What does the seed on the path represent according to Jesus?
The seed on the path represents those who hear the message of the Kingdom but do not understand it. The Evil One comes and snatches away what was sown in their hearts.
How did Jesus explain the seeds that fell on rocky ground
The seeds that fell on rocky ground represent those who receive the message with joy but do not develop deep roots. When trouble or persecution comes, they quickly fall away
What do the seeds among thorns symbolize?
The seeds among thorns symbolize those who hear the message but are distracted by the worries of life and the lure of wealth, preventing them from bearing fruit.
Who are the seeds sown in good soil according to Jesus?
The seeds sown in good soil represent those who hear, understand, and accept the message of the Kingdom. They bear fruit, producing a crop that yields thirty, sixty, or a hundred times what was sown.
