Jesus referred to His stories as parables. It is a rare and amazing gift to accomplish what Jesus did with this technique. He could conceal or reveal great truth in just a few words.
This fact will certainly stand out to you as you read the pages of this book. Every parable...

Jesus asked his disciples the following questions when they wanted an explanation about the parable of the sower. "Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?"
It was as if Jesus said STOP! Do not go any...

Little Seed's story also reflects my childhood memories of time in our family garden and on my grandparents' small farm. Our family spent many hours together planting seeds,...

Of the 30 parables Jesus told, the one that gets the most space on God's sacred pages is the story about the sower, the seed, and the soil (Matthew 13). Just like a farmer isn't sowing seed to get rid of it, God never brings you into contact with his Word just to get it over with. Rather, just as a farmer wants fruit, God wants to help you to experience and exhibit peace, joy, love, and more. And while he certainly could make our behavior one hundred...
