    Easter 2009

    When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side of the lake.  Then a teacher of the law came to him and said, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."  Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head." Another disciple said to him, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father." But Jesus told him, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead."
    Mat. 8:18-22 TNIV
     
    A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds of the air ate it up. Some fell on rock, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown. 
    Luke 8:5-8 TNIV
     
    He said, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that,  'though seeing, they may not see;  though hearing, they may not understand.'  "This is the meaning of the parable…..”        
    Luke 8:10-11 TNIV
     
    Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said:  "If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even life itself—such a person cannot be my disciple.  And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.
    Luke 14:25-27 NIV

    The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. 
    Mat 13:44 TNIV
