Seeds

So in Mark 4, Jesus tells a parable about 4 different types of “seeds” in the world.

• The first kind are those who don’t hold fast to the truth and lose it.
• The second kind are those who have no foundation to their beliefs and are quick to abandon them.
• The third kind are those who hear the truth but give into temptation constantly with no real change.
• The fourth are those who are hearers, doers, and producers of truth.

“The sower sows the word. And these are the ones along the path, where the word is sown: when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that is sown in them. And these are the ones sown on rocky ground: the ones who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy. And they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away. And others are the ones sown among thorns. They are those who hear the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. But those that were sown on the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.” [Mark 4:14-20]
