In Mark 4 Jesus tells a story about sowing seed in different kinds of soil. Then he concludes, "I talk this way so that they may not perceive or repent or be forgiven." What on earth?! Doesn't Jesus want everyone to repent? Why would he say he's speaking in riddles precisely so that some will not be saved? In this show I work through the different angles—the playfulness of Aramaic language, the precedent established by Isaiah, the contrasts given us by Matthew and Luke on this same parable—which scholars say are at work in Jesus' strange saying here. In my conclusion I work through whether and how Jesus saying here might be about the Elect and Unelect; why does that Reformed lens not apply? To begin the show I reflect on our national presidential election and the things that have already changed in light of a pending Trump presidency. Download this show, turn your brain on, and let's think together about life in light of the layered and beautiful person, Yeshua Nadzaret!
