Parable Of The The Sower And Christ's Temptation

There is a link between the Parable of the The Sower and Christ’s Temptation.

A. Things of Need

1. In the Parable of the The Sower there is need for a path (Luke 8:5, 12).

The path was used to walk between the good soil.

2. In Christ’s temptation there is need for bread (Luke 4:3-4). While He was

hungry (vs. 2), He did not fall for Satan’s ploy.

B. Things of Testings

1. In the Parable of the The Sower the seed that falls in rocks does not

produce because of testings (Luke 8:6, 13).

2. In Christ’s temptation, He was tested on top of the Temple (Luke 4:9-12).

He passed this test and all of them in His life.

C. Things of Riches

1. In the Parable of the The Sower the seed that falls in thorns does not

produce because of focus on riches (Luke 8:7, 14).

2. In Christ’s temptation, He was tempted with ruling the world, including

the riches it came with (Luke 4:5-11). He knew that He would eventually rule.

The seed is the Word of God (Luke 8:11) and Christ used the Word of God each

time to ward of Satan.
