But since he has no root The phrase "has no root" is pivotal in understanding the transient nature of the faith described here. In the Greek, "root" is "ῥίζα" (rhiza), which signifies a foundation or source of life. In the context of agriculture, roots are essential for stability and nourishment. Spiritually, this implies a lack of deep, personal connection with Christ and His teachings. Without a firm foundation in the Word of God, one's faith is superficial and unable to withstand trials. This highlights the necessity of discipleship and spiritual growth, emphasizing the importance of being deeply rooted in Scripture and prayer. he remains for only a season When trouble or persecution comes because of the word he quickly falls away Tribulation or persecution.--It is hardly necessary, or indeed possible, to draw any sharp line of demarcation between the two. "Persecution" implies, perhaps, a more organised attack, and therefore greater suffering; "tribulation," the thousand petty annoyances to which every convert to the faith of Christ was exposed in the first age of the Church, and to which, it may be added, even now most men and women who seek to be Christians in deed as well as in name are at some time or other in their lives exposed. The words explain the "time of temptation" in St. Luke's report (Luke 8:13). By and by he is offended.--The adverb is the same as the "anon" of Matthew 13:20, and means "immediately." The rapidity of the renegade matches that of the convert. Such a man finds a "stumbling-block" in the sufferings he is called to endure, and turns into a smoother path.
