Why So Mysterious? Learning through the Parables of Jesus

“One day, a farmer went out sowing seed…” The Parable of the Seeds and the Soils (Matthew 13) is a familiar one. Jesus describes different conditions under which people receive God’s Message as four different types of soil. Obviously, we are meant to be like the “good soil” that produces the best harvest—or is Jesus up to something entirely different? What if the outcome isn’t nearly as important as the pursuit of growth, wherever you happen to be planted?
