Then there were some seeds that fell in the good soil, and they grew strong and tall, and there was a lot of grain that came from them. Jesus told what the parable means. He said that the different types of soil are like different types of people, and the seed is like the Bible or the Word of God. When some people hear the Word of God, they don't even try to listen or understand. The devil takes the Word of God away from them and makes them forget, just like the birds ate the seed that fell on the top of the ground.
Some people are like the rocky soil.
They hear the Word of God and want to do right, but they soon give up. Other people want to listen to the Word of God, and they try to remember to obey the Bible and do the right things, but other things are more interesting to them. Like weeds growing in the garden, they have too many other activities to take their time. So, they learn a little about God and His Word, but they don't grow very strong. Then there are the people who are like the good soil.
