Luke 8:1He went throughout every city and village, preachingVillage preachingI.WE HAVE HERE THE SUBJECT OF OUR LORD’S MINISTRY--“the glad tidings of the kingdom of God.” In these words there is a manifest allusion to the predictions in which the prophets foretold the dispensation of grace and truth by Jesus Christ.

Luke 8:2-3And certain womenMary of MagdalaThis woman has “suffered much at the hand of many” commentators; preachers, painters, and poets, ancient and modern.It is high time to do something to remove the foul stain which has so long rested on her fair fame. In the various notices of her history in the Gospels she exhibits” a character as pure and as devoted from the very first as any in the Gospel pages--a character not displaying merely the reflex action of a repentant spirit, but the faith... read more

Luke 8:4-15A Sower went out to sow his seedParable of the SowerI.BY THE WAYSIDE. 1. The design intended in God’s ordinance of preaching--what is it? We answer, your salvation. 2. The means of becoming interested in this salvation are also here declared. “Lest they should believe,” says the parable, “and be saved.” 3. A hindrance, with many, occurs at the very outset.

Luke 8:5Some fell by the waysideThe field-pathThis first kind of soil is the only one of the four mentioned in which nothing came of the sowing.In this alone there is a combination of causes which renders any good result impossible. Three causes are shown: 1. Before the sowing the soil was incapable of receiving the seed, for it was beaten hard by constant traffic. 2. After the seed had fallen upon it men trod it under foot and crushed out its life.3. That which remained upon the surface the... read more

Luke 8:6And some fell upon a rock--The shallow soilIt is evident that there is a very considerable difference between the persons whose state is signified by the shallow soil and those who are represented by the hard field-path.By those the Word of God is not received at all--merely heard with the outward ears, and in no true sense understood; by these the Word is not only received, but received with joy. The persons now in question do not simply listen to the Word of God with pleasure and... read more
