WHI-1018 | The Parables of Jesus (Part 1)
Some say that Jesus taught in parables because this mode of communication is the most effective for large audiences. But is this really what Jesus was up to? What is a parable anyway, and why did Jesus use this particular method of teaching? On this program, the White Horse Inn hosts will answer these questions and more as they begin a new six-part series on the parables of Jesus.

If salvation is about Spiritual Life, then soils 2, 3 and 4 are true believers because for the seed to spring up their has to be life. The fruit of life in the seed is that it sprang up. The only non-beleiver is soil 1 where there was no life. If in the Parable of the Soils the only true believer is soil 4 then it is not about if there was life but what is done with that life that determines if one is a true believer. Works! God Bless
