Often times it is the people who are poor that are the most open to the gospel. One of the marks of the Lord’s ministry was preaching the gospel to the poor. We must all come to realize that without the Lord Jesus, we ourselves are poor.
(Matthew 13:24-30) Although many of the parables stand independently, some of them are dependent upon one another. Today’s parable continues along the theme of the sower and the seed. As we are introduced to counterfeit fruit, Christ encourages believers to leave God’s work to Him and continue in our work. (08107240503)
