The seeds on rich soil heard the word and accepted it and produced rich harvest.

The Seed is the word of God, Christ is the Sower ; all who come to him will live forever.

“You’ve been given insight into God’s kingdom — you know how it works. But to those who can’t see it yet, everything comes in stories, creating readiness, nudging them toward receptive insight."  (Mark 4: 11  MSG)

From mysteries to sacraments..

"Other seed fell among thorns that grew up and choked out the tender plants so they produced no grain."
(Mark 4:7 NLT)

"The seed that fell among the thorns represents others who hear God’s word,  but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life, the lure of wealth, and the desire for other things, so no fruit is produced."
(Mark 4:18-19 NLT)
