Matthew 13 is all about the Kingdom of God, but Jesus talks about it in parables.
The first parable (you can read it here) is great because not only do we get a story about a farmer and his farm (and we all know I love farms), and also the actual explanation about the parable but we also get insight into why Jesus tells parables.
As the sower plants the seeds, there are many different responses.
This week we learnt that to be part of the Kingdom we need to be serious about seeking God. We need to be genuine and committed.
Those who listen to what Jesus says, those who are in the Kingdom, will not keep the great news of the Kingdom to themselves but will want others to know about it also. Those who are in the Kingdom will tell others about Jesus even if it means getting hassled. Those who are in the Kingdom will put God first above everything else, above all other stuff and things in this world.
