Matthew 12-16

Jesus was searching for those who will remain strong and faithful, he is looking and giving people the chance to believe.  So often he encounters those who need proof and then once they have it they are still too afraid to believe the truth and they use it against him.  I loved hearing the readings of the seeds that were spread on the different terrains- and told several times and revisited- Matthew found this important, I am interested to see if Mark, Luke and John use such emphasis.  I've heard them multiple times throughout my life but I really think the meaning of the seeds is so important.  So many people and even myself want to claim to be believers in God's word and God's promise but I really don't feel that my faith has ever been tested.  My soil has been undisturbed.
