“And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.”
Mark 4:9 KJV
Jesus told the parable of the seed that fell on the ground, and He says, “Are you listening to this? Really listening? If you understand this, then you need to respond”. Or, “The one with ears to hear should use them.” We usually apply portions of this parable to those who don’t believe, but Jesus instructs us to apply it to ourselves. The four kinds of soils speak of four kinds of hearts: hard hearts, hollow hearts, half hearts, and whole hearts. With the first soil we see the activity of satan; the second, that of the flesh; and the third, that of the world. Bearing fruit is not a problem with the seed but with the soil it falls upon. May we allow the seed of the Word of God to fall upon the good and fruitful soil of our wholeheartedness. Let’s with our whole heart pay attention to what God speaks to us through His Word and do what it says. Amen!
