Contextual Overview

²¹Then Jesus posed a question to them, "Would you light a lamp and then stick it in your bedroll? Of course not. A lamp is lifted up high so its light can shine far. ²²Everything in the dark will eventually be revealed. ²³If you got ears, you'd best use them for listening to what I'm saying."²⁴Then he added, "Don't let what I'm saying go in one ear and out the other. The closer you listen the more you'll start getting—and when you start getting it, you'll be given even more. ²⁵Those who listen and apply what I say to do, they'll start catching on even more and more. But if you ignore the things I say, you'll end up losing more than you started with." ²⁶Jesus also told them, "God's Green Pasture is like a farmer that plants seeds in a field. ²⁷Whether he is asleep at night or working a horse in the arena, those seeds are starting to grow. ²⁸He has no idea how it works, but he knows it does. The earth makes things grow. First, a little green leaf pokes up through the dirt. Then the head of wheat forms. ²⁹And finally, the grain is ready for harvest. Then the farmer comes and cuts the wheat with a sickle." ³⁰Jesus said, "How can I tell you about the Boss's outfit? What kind of cowboy tale will help you understand?
