Last we learned that the leaders of Israel officially rejected Jesus as the Messiah by contributing His supernatural works of the Holy Spirit to Satan. From this point on, Jesus didn’t teach or preach as He had before. Jesus now purposely speaks in parables, which is our focus for today.
Parables are riddles for the Jews because Jesus refuses to explain them to the crowds.
Today’s parable has been called, The Parable of the Sower or The Parable of the Seed.
