Day 49: God makes an agreement with Israel | Jesus tells the parable of the Farmer and the Seeds

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

In Exodus 23-24, God delivers laws to Moses on Mount Sinai, emphasizing justice, mercy, and the Sabbath, alongside promises of guidance and blessings for the Israelites. Moses then ascends the mountain to meet with God, where he receives the stone tablets of the covenant, symbolizing God's law and agreement with Israel. As Moses disappears into the cloud atop Sinai for 40 days and nights, one wonders, will the Israelites uphold their end of the covenant in his absence? In Mark 3:31-4:29, Jesus redefines family by stating that whoever does God's will is His brother, sister, and mother. He then teaches by the sea, using parables such as the Sower to illustrate the kingdom of God and how people receive His message differently. The narrative challenges us with the mystery of growth in the parable of the Growing Seed, emphasizing the kingdom's gradual and certain expansion. Amidst these teachings, one wonders, will the listeners truly grasp the profound truths hidden within these parables?
