Ever wonder why God allows difficult people in your life? The Parable of the Tares reveals a shocking truth: the problem isn't with the sower or the seed. What if the tares around you have nothing to do with the truth within you? Discover the divine secret that changes everything about how you handle challenging relationships and circumstances.

In the previous post we talked about the Pharisee challenge to Jesus where they demanded a sign from God to prove that He is the Messiah. Jesus rejected their request and warned the Disciples of the leaven of the Pharisees and Herod (the need for a sign, unbelief). Then He traveled to Bethsaida and healed a man who was blind. Now we see Jesus walking with the Disciples in the area of Caesarea Philippi where He asks them who they believe that He is. After they tell Him what others are saying Peter finally confesses that He is the Messiah, the Son of God. The location of this event is very important and we will discuss it later. Jesus then told the Disciples of His coming death and resurrection and made it clear that they must choose the cross to follow Him.

You're not stuck being spiritual roadkill. The Parable of the Sower reveals that you can choose what kind of soil your heart becomes. Will you be the rocky ground that withers under pressure, the thorny soil choked by worldly worries, or the good soil that bears fruit thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold? The kingdom of heaven is yours for the taking - but what kind of soil will you choose to be?
