Scripture: Matthew 13:1~9
Title: Hundred, Sixty, or Thirty Times of Blessings



1    That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake.

2    Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in
it, while all the people stood on the shore.

3    Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to
sow his seed.

4    As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds
came and ate it up.

5    Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up
quickly, because the soil was shallow.


6    But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered
because they had no root.

7    Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants.

8    Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop–a hundred,
sixty or thirty times what was sown.

9    He who has ears, let him hear.”


>Reference 18~22


18   “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means:

19    When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it,
the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is
the seed sown along the path.


20    The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who
hears the word and at once receives it with joy.

21    But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or
persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.

22    The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who
hears the word,
but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth
choke it, making it unfruitful.
