In this chapter Jesus spends a lot of time going through a bunch of parables. The one that stood out in my mind was the parable of the Four Soils. The part of that parable that caught my eye was in verse 13 where it says, “13 This is why I speak to them in parables: “Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.” I find it amazing how much this verse applies to our current world. How many people choose to ignore God in our present age. When Jesus was talking to the people at that time, I’m sure He already had in mind that our current world would reject Him as well. I praise God that He has blessed me with the knowledge of His existence and the importance of who He is in my life. I don’t know what I would do without Him.
