- Theology and Teaching in the Parable of the Sower (Possible AO1)
- Jesus will make the Kingdom of God available
- Must show discipleship - listen and act upon Jesus' words
- Not available for all - some become tempted by Satan (seeds taken by birds)
- Available now
- Realised Eschatology
- Growth of K of G shown by abundant harvest
- Must show discipleship - listen and act upon Jesus' words
- Jesus has authority: "Listen" - commanded the attention of the crowd
- Promises an abundant harvest at the end - symbolic of K of G
- Jesus is human growing impatient with the disciples and belittling them
- "How will you understand any parable"
- Large crowd = popularity of Jesus
- "The crowd that gathered round him was so large"
- Jesus was an experienced teacher
- "Taught them many things... in his teaching he said"
- Christians were being persecuted and their faith challenged
- This parable teaches Jesus would encourage them to stay strong and the K of G will triumph eventually
- Universalism
- A. M. Hunter: " ringing reassurance and encouragement for the faint-hearted disciples"
- Jesus will make the Kingdom of God available
