How Then Will You Understand Any Parable?

Mark 4:1-20

This is another sandwich style teaching. Whilst Matthew and Luke focus on the 4 types of soil in this parable, Mark wants us to focus on the filling of the sandwich. That filling is the question: are we insiders or outsiders? Insiders hang around Jesus and are hungry to know more, outsiders just leave after hearing an interesting story even if they don’t understand it.
