The Parable of the Sower in Matthew 13:3-23 demonstrates fully that to receive God's Truth with understanding is both a blessing from God as well as ongoing work in God's Word to maintain the blessing. It isn't enough to just hear God's Word, you need to receive it and work in it. Grow it and share it. The "wicked one" is Satan and those who try to pull you away from seeds that are sown and then not grown. Putting wordly standards, practices, traditions, and concerns before God's Truth will prevent seeds from even taking root.
