When the crowds left WILL, “Jesus was alone, those who were with asked concerning the parables. Jesus said, “To you has been given the SECRET of the KINGDOM OF GOD, but for those outside everything is in parables; so that they may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand; “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? The sower sows the word. And these are the ones along the path, where the word is sown; when they hear, Satan immediately comes and TAKES AWAY THE WORD…these in like manner are the ones sown upon rocky ground, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy; then, when TRIBULATION or PERSECUTION arises on account of THE WORD, IMMEDIATELY THEY FALL AWAY. And others are the ones sown among thorns; they are those who hear the word, but the cares of the world, enter in and CHOKE THE WORD, and it proves unfruitful. But those that were sown upon the good soil are the ones who HEAR THE WORD AND ACCEPT IT and BEAR FRUIT, THIRTYFOLD AND SIXTYFOLD AND A HUNDREDFOLD.” (Mark 4:13-20)
WHAT IS THE SECRET OF THE KINGDOM WILL? HEARING AND ACCEPTING THE WORD OF GOD!
