What Does Jesus Teach People About Farmers Who Sow His Seeds
-Jesus taught people by parables. Jesus told his people about farmers who sow his seed. Scattering the seeds, some fell on the path and some fell in a rocky place with no soil. It bloomed fast. The sun dried them out. The plants died because of a lack of soil. Some plants grow creating weeds. The plants then died because the weeds stopped the growth of the plants. Other seeds had fallen on good soil areas. This helped the plants grow well for the farmers allowing them to harvest from these plants. Jesus was the farmer and the seed represents good news, seeds being scattered in different places represents different individuals.

It emphasizes learning readiness because it focuses on the need of the student. Jesus did ask questions, He asked…

    "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given," answered Jesus after his disciples asked him why he spoke in parables. When Christ gave us the parable of the sower, he also gave us true life questions that we must answer. This parable gives us two great questions; What type of soil are we? What happens to the Word of God when we hear or read it?…

    In verses 1-3 Jesus compares himself to a vine, and God to the one who takes care of that vine. Coming off of that vine are the saved Christians such as the disciples, whom he is talking to. The branches that are cut off are people who never believed in the Word of God. Then in verses 4-7, Jesus makes the point that once followers are compared to branches, then they are essentially one with the vine because of their necessity and connection. Specifically in verse 6, the destruction of the dead branches can be closely related with judgement…

    The message conveyed by Jesus at the Sermon on the mound is essential because it can help gain insight to understanding that time period. During this time period Christ was preaching to predominantly Jewish people. With this in mind, his listeners would commonly be familiar with the Old Testament writings. Jesus’ teachings were similar to that of the Old Testament but were less strict and trendier. Since the Romans were persecuting the Christians, concepts like turning the other cheek and forgiveness were more appealing to the people of that time. Jesus speaks of being humble with their religion and if they do not obey this rule then they will not be rewarded in the afterlife (Penguin, p. 140). This idea is appealing because it allows his followers to try and escape persecution but at the same time be good disciples. Appealing beliefs can also be seen when Jesus tells his followers to be more then cooperative with authority and “If someone wants to sue you and takes your shirt, let him have your cloak as well” (Penguin, p.140). These passive behaviors spoken of by Christ are examples of teachings that were molded and affected by the Roman Empire.…

    e. By riding into Jerusalem on a donkey Jesus was trying to teach the disciples that; the donkey who had been left, abandoned had come into use. This applies to the disciples because just because maybe Jesus/God was not using them at that moment in time a time would come where they would be needed. Also he was teaching them to humble themselves because just as much as they are important in the work that they are doing, by showing pride God can raise someone else to do the job they were too proud to do.…

    Jesus was more than just the proclaimer of the kingdom of God but He carried the kingdom of God to men thru His teachings and works. The point of emphasis is on the fact that these were Jesus’ own words and actions or those that he sent out in His name. God chose to work thru Jesus. He knew that a new age had begun and this was good news unto man. It was required of men to personally respond to Jesus in faith and discipleship in order to enter the…

    Jesus educated them. A lot of workplaces have adopted the unwritten rule of the more you know the more valuable you are. This leads some to believe that information gained should be information held from others. Then, as time passes that person moves on and no one else is knowledge of that job criteria and overall the company fails. Jesus did not believe that, he empowered everyone with the same knowledge that he had. As Christians, we should give everyone the same training and education that we have.…

    Many verses in the Old Testament foreshadow Jesus’ coming as the Son of God and the ultimate sacrifice on the Crucifix. By understanding the events in the New Testament, it is possible to understand better the events in the Old. There are numerous verses of typology in the Old and the New Testament, that it seems as if the whole Bible is one big book of typology. By discovering the verses of typology, it becomes easier to understand the reason for Jesus’ life, death, and ultimately his genuine mercy and love for all…

    For instance, Jesus explains to his disciples that he is the way, the truth, and the life and only through him will they have access to the father (14: 6-7). He’s pointing out that the father and him are connected, but he wants them to understand that they are connected as one. Leaving peace with them he encourage them to rejoice and be glad with him for he is going to the Father (John 14: 27-28, 15: 5-7). The portrayal of Jesus in this episode is more joyful than the Jesus at Gethsemane. Comparatively, in the gospel of John the writer presents the Passover with a commencement of cleansing to demonstrate Jesus’ love for his disciples by performing the work of the lowest of men (John 13: 5-17). Jesus states that this act of love allows the disciples to have access to an inheritance in him (John 13:8). The inheritance spoken of is not of earthly manner, but that of the purpose of Jesus’ coming. It is because of love, and the redemption of mankind that he came (John 1:29, John 3:16). Through his crucifixion he proclaims the scripture greater love than this, but for a man to lay down his life for his friend (John 15:13). As a result mankind will be restored unto Jesus himself, providing access to an inheritance of eternal…
