08 03 Luke 8.1-15 Jesus often spoke in parables, short stories of a kind with a spiritual lesson for us to consider. This parable is about four types of soil and the inference is for us to consider which kind of soil we are. If we are good soil where the seed of the gospel has taken root then there should be evidence of that by the kind of fruit we are producing. If there is no fruit, then it is important to evaluate the heart and respond by faith to the gospel message.
