Day 18: Esau's descendants, Joseph sold into slavery, Jesus explains the Sower parable

The One Year Bible Podcast 2024 - A podcast by Michael Wood, M.Ed.,M.S.

In Genesis 36-37, Esau's descendants become chiefs in Edom, showcasing the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham's lineage. Then, the focus shifts to Jacob's family, particularly Joseph, who is favored by his father and envied by his brothers. This envy reaches a boiling point when Joseph's brothers conspire against him, throwing him into a pit and then selling him into slavery. Will Joseph's dreams of greatness still come true despite his brothers' betrayal? In Matthew 13:18-35, Jesus explains the Parable of the Sower, revealing that the seeds represent the Word of God, and the various grounds are types of people who receive it differently. Some ignore it, others accept it but falter under pressure, and yet others let worldly concerns overshadow it; only a few truly embrace and nurture it. Jesus also speaks in parables about the Kingdom of Heaven, comparing it to a mustard seed and yeast, illustrating its humble beginnings and expansive growth. Will the disciples grasp these profound teachings and spread them effectively?
