"Fulfilled - A Chapter of Parables, Matt 13:1-23" Dec 30, 2018

It is important to note that Matthew 13 contains eight parables in which Jesus explains the Kingdom of Heaven.  We will only look at the first of these parables in this section.  While it is commonly referred to as the parable of the sower, the application seems to be more on the four types of surfaces or soils that the seed falls upon. This parable answers many common questions that Christians have concerning other people that seemed to be Christians at one point, but have fallen away from their faith.  How can this occur?  Were they ever really saved?  The answers to these questions can be gleaned from this agricultural depiction of how God saves people.
