What Does Luke 8:7 Mean?
Still other seed falls among thorns. Nothing uproots it and nothing devours it; the thorns simply spring up with it, growing at its pace, until they choke the life out of the grain.
This soil is dangerous because the rivalry looks harmless. The thorns grow alongside the wheat, keeping step with it, until one day there is no room left. So it is when competing loves grow up beside the word in a heart that never weeds. Few lives are ruined by open rebellion; many are slowly strangled by things that merely grew unchecked. The parable urges us to tend the ground, not just to plant it.
