Key Verse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014Mark 4:9<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Verse Thought: <\/strong>Read today\u2019s Key Verse. Everyone has ears. What do we use our ears for? (i.e.: to hear; hold glasses; etc.). We are to understand the primary purpose for our ears is to hear. In this lesson, we will learn that Jesus taught by parables. Parables are \u201cearthly stories with heavenly meanings.\u201d Jesus wanted His followers to understand His teachings. He wanted them to put on their \u201cspiritual ears\u201d and not only hear<\/em><\/strong> what He taught, but to do<\/em><\/strong> what He taught.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emphasis: <\/strong>In this lesson, we are to understand that God\u2019s Word is the seed and once the seed is planted, it is to grow, producing fruit. That means that once we hear about Jesus and become a Christian, we are to live a life pleasing to Him. Christians have the ears that are to hear the truths taught by Jesus and live accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesson Summary:<\/strong> In our last lesson, we learned about a few of the miracles of Jesus. In those miracles we saw the compassion of Jesus and the call to faith \u2013 to believe in Jesus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this lesson, we will learn that Jesus taught in parables. Parables are often referred to as \u201cearthly stories with heavenly meanings.\u201d Jesus told many parables, but we will only look at a few today: the Sower and the seed; the parable of the Good Shepherd; the parable of the Good Samaritan; the parable of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son; ending with the parable of the prayer of the Pharisee and the publican. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first parable Jesus taught (the Sower and the seed), it revealed that Jesus is the Sower, and the seed is the Word of God. The people who received the Word of God grew and produced fruit. He ended with the phrase, \u201cHe that hath ears to hear, let him hear\u201d for it was a call for anyone who would to receive God\u2019s word and be saved. When the disciples asked why Jesus taught in parables, Jesus explained it to them. He wanted His followers to understand what He was teaching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of today\u2019s parables may be familiar to you, but try to understand what Jesus was teaching his followers. Even those who did not fully understand were called to make a decision \u2013 to follow Jesus and His teachings, or not.\u00a0 In these parables Jesus taught not only how be saved, but that once saved, a Christian is to grow. Jesus also taught there is only one way to Heaven \u2013 Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
