“And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it…And these are the ones along the path, where the seed is sown: when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that is sown in them.” Mark 4:4,15

There has never been a story teller like Jesus. He was skillful in being able to reveal truth to those who had spiritual ears, but hiding truth from those resistant to Him. The mystery of which Jesus spoke was all that was bound in Him as more fully revealed. If you want to be a citizen of the coming kingdom, it means being submitted to the King. There is unlimited treasure in sharing in the kingdom now and forevermore. What is your response to the word of the King? The seed of Jesus’ message is wasted by those, in collaboration with Satan, who will not bow the knee to King Jesus. Unreceptive, hard hearts allow the devil to take advantage of the seed’s failure to germinate. How tragic it is for those who hear the message of Jesus and consider it ridiculous. Those whose unbelief leads them to throw Jesus under the bus of human opinion are the losers. The seed of the message of redemption and the infinite value of the person and work of Christ laying on the surface to be removed by Satan is an unimaginable disaster.

“O Coming King, my heart is heavy for those who amuse themselves with the toys of this world and allow the treasure of truth about Jesus to become bird food.”
