Thousands of people who listened to the teachings of Jesus thought he was a rock star (translation: prophet sent from God), but many religious leaders thought he was a heretic and plotted to kill him. Both the crowds and the leaders saw the miracles, heard the teachings, witnessed the healings, but some grew in hate for Jesus while others grew in love. Through a story about a farmer sowing seed on different kinds of soil, Jesus explains why his words inspire different responses in different people--it all depends on the "soil" of the heart.
