Jesus spoke to his disciples in parable about a sower who went to sow seeds, and he described four types of surface that the seeds fell on. He spoke to them in parables because it was given to them to understand parables. Unfortunately some were not meeting the requirement. Then he explained to them that the seed represented the word of God, and the results or consequence of the soil. Listening to that thought, the question we must answer is, what type of soil is our heart when the word of God falls on, or in it.
