“How Will You Understand…”

“How Will You Understand…”

Blessings folk!

Quick thought for the day…on the road. Happy

We have just read the “parable of the sower”.

Jesus spoke in parables so that…

Mark 4:11-12

…those who are outside get everything in parables,

so that WHILE SEEING, THEY MAY SEE AND NOT PERCEIVE, AND WHILE HEARING, THEY MAY HEAR AND NOT UNDERSTAND, OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT RETURN AND BE FORGIVEN.”

Jesus knew that His disciples did not understand.
He questioned them.


Mar 4:13

And He said to them, “Do you not understand this parable?
How will you understand all the parables?

He acknowledged before them that He knew they did not understand.
Then, “how will you understand all the parables?”

A couple of things.

The parables were to be understood by those who believed.
Understanding was expected.

Apparently, this parable of the sower/seed/soil is a foundational parable to gain skill in interpreting and understanding parables.

We will see why shortly.

Meanwhile, do you believe?
Do you understand?
