Sowing
Seeds
Luke 8:4-15 (NIV)
Jesus often used word pictures to teach the people. These stories were called
Parables. They were meant to illustrate some truth. The people did not always
understand, but Jesus was happy to give an explanation to those who wanted to know more. A
picture story often helps us to see the point being made and to remember it better.
One such story is the parable of the Sower in Luke 8:4-15. Below you can see the story in
a picture.
