Have you ever had someone tell you something important but because you weren’t really listening you forgot what they told you? Yet when you contemplate a beautiful painting or read an epic novel you can’t forget its meaning. Jesus understood this dynamic; so he taught Truth like an artist. In Matthew 13 Jesus begins to teach in parables, ordinary stories that explain the kingdom of God. His first parable about sowing seeds illustrates why there is such a varied response to those who hear God’s word. This simple farming story challenges us to think deeply about how we are hearing the word of God.
