4:1-9 In the story (called a parable) Jesus tells, what are the four different situations? What do you think he is referring to?
4:10-20 What does Jesus say was the meaning of the parable? Which kind of ground are you?
4:21-25 Why do you think Jesus was not clear about everything in the first place (cf 4:10-12)? Did he intend for things to always be unclear?
4:26-34 What do these other two parables tell us about what the Kingdom of God is like?
