What happens when an evil spirit leaves and is not replaced?When an evil spirit is cast out and the space is not filled with the Holy Spirit, the person's final condition becomes worse than before.Matthew 12:45
Who is my mother and who are my brothers?Jesus teaches that spiritual relationships with those who do the will of God are closer and more important than physical, earthly family relationships.
Why does Jesus speak in parables?Jesus explains that parables are given so that the disciples who love the truth can understand the mysteries of the kingdom, while the hard-hearted do not.
The Parable of the SowerJesus describes a sower scattering seed across different types of ground, ranging from unproductive paths and rocky soil to thorny ground and fertile soil yielding thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold.
The roadside and rocky soil hearersThe first type of hearer lets the devil snatch the word away immediately, while the second type receives the word with surface excitement but withers when persecution arises due to a lack of roots.
The thorny ground and the good soil hearersThe third type of hearer lets the word grow, but the worries of the world, riches, and desires choke it; the good soil hearers cherish, understand, and guard the word to bear fruit at varying levels of faithfulness.
