Sower, Seeds, & Soils

The parable of the sower, seed, and soils is not about farming, but reveals spiritual truths for the first century agricultural minded Jews, so they would understand that the acceptance of God's Word is dependent on the spiritual condition of one's heart.
Those who would accept the spiritual truths had hearts that were ready to produce spiritual crops.  Unfortunately, then and now, many reject the gospel for a variety of reasons spelled out in this parable.
