vs 1-15 Different outcomes of the seed and where it is planted.
1. Along a path- birds came and ate it up... ones who hear but the devil distracts the Word from there hearts.
2. Rock- it grew but was never able to take root... receive the word, believe for a while but fall away eventually.
3. Among thorns- grew but eventually choked out... they receive the word but are choked by life's worries and pleasures. Never mature.
4. Good soil- grew immensely... Hear the word, retain it and live it.
It is not enough just to read the bible, live it out, let it change your heart!
vs 16-18 Let others see the light. Be real.
vs 19-21 Put into practice the word of God.
vs 22-25 Have faith in God, He was there for the disciples in the storm. The winds and waves obey Him.
vs 26-39 Heal a demon possessed man, by casting the evil spirits into a heard of pigs. The pigs go crazy and run into the lake and drown. This scared the people and they asked Jesus to leave. The guy who Jesus healed wanted to go with Him, but Jesus told him to go home and show what God had done for him.
vs 40-53
Jairus asks Jesus to heal his daughter. While on the way there was a thick crowd of people, as Jesus walked through the crowd he felt someone touch him. Power escaped him. He asked who touched him and she fell at his feet and told him of her healing that had happened when she touched him. While this was happening someone told Jairus his daughter had died. Jesus told Jairus not to worry and that his daughter would be healed. When they arrived at the house only Jesus and Peter, John and James went into the girls room with the parents. Jesus said, "She is not dead, but asleep. My Child get up!" and told them to get her something to eat.
The power of Christ can heal disease and death. Put your faith in him.
