Topic — God’s Word: Use As Directed
Luke 8:11, ‘Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.’
Luke 8:4-11
This parable illustrates the importance of the Word of God. God’s Word contains total power, but it has to be planted in our hearts and allowed to germinate before it releases that power.
The seed is God’s Word, and the types of ground are the four major categories of men’s hearts. The Word was the same in each situation, but each case had different results because of the condition of men’s hearts—not because of the Word. The Word doesn’t work for everyone because not everyone will allow it to work. The variable in this parable is the condition of these hearts. God’s Word is always the same. It has the same potential in every heart.
Good ground doesn’t just happen; it must be cultivated. This is why only one out of four persons in Jesus’ parable brought forth fruit. Being a fruitful Christian takes a lot of time, effort, and diligence. The Christian life is not like a hundred-yard dash but a 26.2-mile marathon. It’s quicker and easier to raise weeds than it is to raise tomatoes or corn.
In this whole parable, it was the Word that produced the fruit. The ground gave it a place to grow. If we put God’s Word in our hearts, protect it, and prioritize it in our lives, the Word will produce fruit. Satan has deceived many people into thinking that they don’t have the talents or abilities to be fruitful Christians, but they are not the ones who bring forth fruit; it’s God’s Word. When we protect the Word sown in our hearts, it will do the rest.
