Art & Scripture painting #53:  Matthew 13:18-23

Art & Scripture

“Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”
 Matthew 13:18-23

I love how Jesus took the time to explain this passage so clearly to the disciples. In one of the busiest times of the year leading to Christmas, may we always choose him over anything else, again and again. It’s my prayer today that our priorities are set on what really matters. He is the reason for the season. Have a wonderful week!
