• Jesus did not usually explain parables, as part of their appeal was to work out the meaning. However, on this occasion he explained it for the disciples.
• Some people cannot remember or understand what they have been told. This is like the seed falling on the path.
• The person who responds enthusiastically to God’s word but falls away when there are difficulties is like the seed that fell in the rocky places.
• The seed falling among thorns is like the person who lets the worries of life get in the way of following God.
• The seed falling on the good soil represents those who hear the word of God and respond positively, but some making more commitment than others.
• This parable can be taken as encouragement for those trying to preach God’s word. Some people may ever respond, but there will always be those who do and God’s kingdom will continue to grow.
