Jesus told a lot of stories. Here’s one of my favorites:
A farmer went out to sow his seed.
As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on and the birds ate it up.
Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture.
Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants.
Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.
(Luke 8:5-8)
