Luke 8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. I. WHAT IS THE SEED TO BE SOWN? The Word of God. II. THE SOIL UPON WHICH THIS SEEN IS TO BE CAST. The field is the world. III. THE MANNER OR SPIRIT IN WHICH THE SEED IS TO BE SOWN. 1. With much prayer. 2. In simple faith upon God's promises. 3. In entire dependence upon the influences of the Holy Ghost. 4. In a spirit of love to Christ and the souls of men. 5. Not sparingly, but bountifully. (J. Hatchard, A. M.) Parallel Verses KJV: Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. |
