He Who Has an Ear. Let Him Hear: 1 Sower, 1 Seed, 4 Soils

He who has an ear, let him hear... Jesus used these words to exhort His listeners on multiple occasions. This in-depth Bible study provides readers with an exhaustive look into one of those instances as Jesus presented the Parable of the Four Soils. Many heard His teaching, but did they have ears to hear the meaning?

As Jesus traveled, taught, healed, and astonished the listening crowds, their numbers grew at an exponential rate. Jesus knew the hearts of each person listening. There were those who truly sought to learn from Him, but the masses also included those who were simply curious and others with ill intent.

• Why did Jesus use parables to teach the listening crowd?
• What was He conveying through the Parable of the Four Soils?
• How does this parable apply to each of our lives?

Uncover these answers, and many more, while researching the prophecy Jesus quotes, the context of the parable, original language that helps us understand, and details shared in each of the Synoptic Gospels.
