Today we continue our series in the Gospel of Luke, one of four eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ words and works. In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue a people of his own from among the nations—even us. Today we reach Jesus’ famous “Parable of the Soils” which explains why people have always responded so differently to him. This parable is a helpful, though challenging, reminder that the fruit of our lives is determined by the hearing of our hearts.
