"When You Don't Love Jesus" – Matthew 13:1-17 Here sat the tender Jesus, to teach to all who would take Him and love the sayings of His mouth. It's all on the listener. How the Word is received is the form that takes effect in our lives. I can see that some look with curiosity, with complaints, with acceptance, others to contend, others look between the lines for what they would like to catch in order to contend, others with astonishment (surprise, fright), reason does not want anything, which can lead them to discover in themselves as we are.
I. The First Parable.
A. The sower went out to sow (it's simple, "to sow").
1. (4) And the birds came and ate it, part of the seed "fell by the wayside."
2. It did not fall to the ground because it is left out in the open (open sky, it is subject to the variations of the weather).
3. Lots of hungry birds and beware there are lots of hungry birds around you.
4. It falls on stony ground, there is not much land; It seems that it remained, but it sprouted soon, scarcity of soil, nothing, such as the root, could not tie it down; Not root, the sun burns (trials, doubts had no root) dried up.
5. Falls on thorns (plant thorns); On the thorns they grew, and you know what the thorns do, they choke, they prevent you from breathing.
6. "Some of it fell on good ground." a.) It bore fruit, some to a hundred, some to sixty, and some to thirtyfold.
7. Have an ear, for it is easy for you to understand it, if you want to understand it.
8. Those who don't want to, well, they don't have if they don't want to.
9. The disciples question themselves.
10. “But not to them”; Jesus already knew in heaven, when the Father and the Holy Spirit were there, that they would crucify Him, so it wasn't for those who don't want to.
11. (12) To him that hath shall have more: and he that will not will hath not, even what he has will be taken away from him.
12. You know brother: "For seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, but he who has not loved Him, nor understand anything, nothing, of the Lord, destined, for this reason, it has been thickened (fat, increase the amount of hardness, more and more rebellious).
13. Heavy ears, plugged, glued: they don't want to hear, they make fools of themselves, but they are not, what they have insisted, because they do not want to hear, because they want to continue doing what pleases them, not Jesus, cries out the supposed deafness is: They do not want to hear.
14. Their eyes closed: they covered, sealed.
15. Nor hear: Your ears are no longer in use (not used, or have ceased to use); In the midst of deafness, he ceases to see, never, never, never the Word goes to say; Romans 10:17
So faith is by hearing, and hearing by the word of God: for it has no faith, no miracles, no salvation; faith is by hearing, and hearing by the word, and therefore cannot be heard.
16. And with the heart understand (to have a clear idea of things, to know perfectly, to understand, to know) and there the human being "does not want to understand."
17. And turn (transform, change).
18. And I healed them; What God did; He came to earth in the Messiah: He died a vile, shameful death, to this day the truth of Jesus is known, but the same; They hear heavily closed their eyes or hear, there will be no life with Jesus, the Holy Spirit, with God Himself, they despise Him.
19. Blessed (happiness) are the eyes of the righteous of the one who comes to the Church to seek Him, there is nothing else in the body (Church) that we must listen to, we do not go blind.
20. Let's look at what the Church is: where God dwells and blesses.
21. Our ears, "because we hear" the voice of His Word.
22. You don't want to hear, only what interests you (it's good, useful).
23. When your ears fall asleep because of how heavy your body is to be blessed, you do not live in trouble, nor look for what, brother: we are to be effectual hearers, you will be blessed (James 1:22-26).
24. The ancients wanted to see, to hear, to look at Him as He is: And prophets such as: Daniel, Jeremiah, etc.
25. They couldn't see Jesus as the savior for their lives, to be with the Spirit, to be with the guidance, to live in His care, to take care of our lives, and we pray to the Father through Christ and He cries out in perfect prayer.
26. The ancients by His mouth did not lose Him; To hear so majestic was the presence of Immanuel: with us.
27. Jesus the greatest, the most powerful: Immanuel God (God with us).
28. I serve Jesus.
29. We all came to seek Jesus.
30. Our ambitions, the pretending, is the Church of Jesus; we are His body; I have nothing to offer you. Amen.
