The Big Puzzle: What was the “Word of God” that was being sown in the Parable of the Sower?
In Luke 8:11 Jesus explains that the seed he was sowing out to everyone, (that would bring an abundant crop for some) was the "Word of God."
So, what was this "Word of God" that he was sowing? I doubt that he was passing out those Old Testament scrolls (so it was not the Bible).
Others have told me that the Word is Jesus. But that does not make any sense in this context. And others told me that his "Word" was his teachings. But the people who say that don’t explain what that particular teaching was, so I just assume they don’t know.
Do you know what Jesus was sowing in the Parable of the Sower? He called it the "Word of God" and said that people hear the word of God and "Do It." So what did he want those people "doing" so that they would have an abundant crop?
I have asked similar questions before, but no one has admitted they don’t know… but their answers lead me to think that they don’t know. Is anyone here willing to admit that they don’t know?
More context on the Kingdom Gospel is in my biography.
