Bible guides – Mark 4:1-34 - 19 May 2009 |
|
We’ve seen many different reactions to Jesus, from enthusiastic devotion to strong hostility. Jesus explains these different responses in a series of parables, or stories.
- Jesus tells a parable in verses 1-9 about ’seed’ and four types of ’soil’. How does he explain this imagery in verses 14-20?
Each of the next two parables highlights a different aspect of how God’s kingdom grows.
- What do verses 26-28 teach about how God’s kingdom will grow?
- What do verses 30-32 tell us about the future prospects for God’s kingdom?
What encouragements are offered by the two parables in verses 26-32?
