The Parable of the Sower: Bible Story and LessonThe Parable of the Sower was told to the crowd gathered around Jesus. Jesus tells the story of a sower who scattered seeds on four different soil types. The first type of ground was hard, and the seed could not sprout or grow at all and became snatched up instantly. The second type of ground was stony. The seed was able to plant and begin to grow. However, it could not grow deep roots and withered in the sun. The third type of ground was thorny, and although the seed could plant and grow, it could not compete with the number of thorns that overtook it. The fourth ground was good soil that allowed the seed to plant deep, grow strong, and produce fruit.Moral of the Parable of the SowerJesus used this parable to explain to his followers and the disciples how there are different responses to the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ. The sower in the parable is Jesus, and the seed is the word of God (both Jesus's spoken word and today the Bible). The hard ground represents someone with a hardened heart full of sin who hears the word of God but does not accept it. Satan can keep this person from growing at all. The stony ground is someone who shows interest and awareness in the Gospel, yet his heart isn't fully convinced when trouble comes to his faith, which is not strong enough to stand. The thorny ground is a person who receives the Gospel but who has many other idols and distractions in life - worries, riches, and lusts, which take over his mind and heart, and he cannot grow in the truth of God's Word. The good soil is someone who has heard and received the Word of God and allows it to take root and grow within his life. This person represents true salvation that bears good fruit.Jesus spoke the Parable of the Sower to teach how important the state of our heart is to receive the Gospel and how our choices and actions prove our salvation after hearing the Gospel.

Gathered to hear Him teach (Matthew 13:3). Parables are stories used as illustrations to teach a deeper truth that becomes understandable to the audience, and this—the parable of the sower—is the first time Jesus used parables in their full sense as He taught. Previously, He taught in the synagogues and some of His teachings were parabolical in essence (Matthew 7:24-27). Those to whom He often spoke parables were outside the kingdom (Mark 4:11), for the realm of parables transcends the ordinary life to the spiritual. Ordinary life consists of daily, often rote activities, even vocational tasks. When we add a spiritual aspect to our activities, we sense the need to do everything from faith (Romans 14:23). The parable of the sower is one He shared while He sat in a boat just off the shore of the Sea of Galilee. The crowds were such that He had to separate Himself so all could hear His message (Mark 4:1). He sat as He spoke, as did Jewish teachers of the day, therefore alluding to His authority as a teacher and also preparing His audience for the lessons (see Luke 4:20).The synoptic gospels each contain Jesus’ teaching of the parable of the sower (Matthew 13:1-9, Mark 4:1-9, Luke 8:4-8). In it, a sower goes out to sow (that is, one who sows seeds, e.g., a farmer). As he sowed, some seeds fell on a path and were trampled underfoot (Luke 8:5), and birds came “and devoured them.” Other seeds “fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil.” They sprang right up yet were scorched by the sun because of the lack of soil (no roots) and no moisture (Luke 8:6). Still, other seeds fell among thorns and were choked by them (Matthew 13:7). But the last seeds about which Jesus spoke fell on “good soil and produced various amounts of grain.” Jesus followed this parable with an interesting statement: “He who has ears, let him hear.”The Main MessageScripture is the best interpreter of itself, and Jesus Himself explains the parable of the sower in Matthew 13:18-23, Mark 4:13-20, and Luke 8:11-5 (He was the only One to use parables). By using an agricultural metaphor, which is how most of his audiences made their living, the spectators would grasp the story as Jesus led them to consider the spiritual meaning within the illustrative narrative.Following is a list of the meanings

Of theology, with the smallest detail revealing hidden truths. “A parable is not an allegory; an allegory is a story in which every possible detail has an inner meaning; but an allegory has to be read and studied; a parable is heard. We must be very careful not to make allegories of the parables.” (Barclay)2. (3b-9) A simple story about a farmer and sowing seeds.“Behold, a sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them. Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth. But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them. But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”a. A sower went out to sow: Jesus spoke according to the agricultural customs of His day. In those days, seed was scattered first and then it was plowed into the ground.i. Before one can be a sower, he must be an eater and a receiver. This one came out of the granary – the place where seed is stored – and from his Bible the sower brought forth seed.b. As he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside…on stony places…among thorns…on good ground: In this parable the seed fell on four different types of soil.i. The wayside was the path where people walked and nothing could grow because the ground was too hard.ii. Stony places were where the soil was thin, lying upon a rocky shelf. On this ground the seed springs up quickly because of the warmth of the soil, but the seed is unable to take root because of the rocky shelf.iii. Among thorns describes soil that is fertile – perhaps too fertile, because thorns grow there as well as grain.iv. Good ground describes soil that is both fertile and weed-free. A good, productive crop grows in the good ground.c. He who has ears to hear, let him hear: This was not a call for all to listen. Rather, it was a call for those who were spiritually sensitive to take special note. This was especially true in light
