Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 8.-18

Ron Ohst

It’s possible to hear God’s Word often and still remain unchanged. In Luke 8:4-18, Jesus tells a parable about four kinds of soil to expose four kinds of hearts. Some are hardened by pride. Some appear open but resist surrender when obedience costs something. Others are crowded by anxiety, comfort, and the pursuit of more. The same seed is sown in every life, yet only one heart bears fruit. Jesus says, “Take care then how you hear” (Luke 8:18).
