Jesus used these short, made up stories a lot in his teaching. What are they? How do we read them?

They explore 1 idea. The different characters have different responses to the idea. Where are you in the story?

They’re short and memorable so we can think on them. Try to catch the gist. Don’t get hung up on details. God wants to talk to you. Take some time and chat with him about these two ideas, expressed via plants lol.

These parables were from Matthew 13, if you want to re-read them (highly recommend, super short reading), or delisted to my reading.

Sower & Seeds 4:28

Wheat & Weeds 5:16
