The Sower: Luke 8.1-15

1. Why parables? Why Luke 8.10? Is Jesus deliberately obscuring the message? What do parables say about the nature of God? Why Luke 8.10 and Mark 4.17?

Jesus’ ‘time’ had not yet come to reveal himself fully to everyone Jesus is not deliberately putting people off. The disciples are a wider group than the 12. All could listen to the explanation (compare Mark 4.9-10) The parables puzzle and provoke, but they are understandable (Mark 4.13 and 33). But they are harder to really apply. This is really the issue Jesus’ ‘time’ had not yet come to reveal himself fully to everyone The hardening of heart is more a natural uncovering and confirmation of what is already there There is irony in the comment Look at Mark 4, because that’s more difficult There’s a much wider groups of disciples who are invited in. Luke also at the first vv of Luke 8. Cf. John’s gospel. His time had not yet come. A repeated refrain. The hardening a more natural uncovering of what’s already there. Especially so in the context of Isaiah 6. The dilemma of the gospel preacher, person sharing the good news. Lindsay ill. Not here in Yorkshire. Uncovers and makes plain what was already there. As well as increasing it. Exclamation mark of irony!

Are we insiders or outsiders? Are we really listening? The parables challenge us strongly. As believers. Not least this one.

The Sower The seed is sown extravagantly, even wastefully Do we think people are beyond the reach of the gospel? Inefficient. My experience at Uni. Cleaner pushed me.

The Seed The word of the gospel, which is precious Yet it’s cast far and wide. This is the grace of God.

The soils Those who quickly reject – the path Those who are deflected by suffering – the rocks Those who are choked by other things – the thorns Those who persevere and produce a crop – the good soil Which soil are we? Apply suffering Apply with other things. The dread asbestos of other things. So impressed by the radicalism of some.
