Understanding the Word

Mat 13:19  When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

From another look at the parable of the seed in Matthew. Noticed the clause, "and understandeth it not".  That gives a real imperative to us as husbands and fathers that we proceed to teach our families (and ourselves!) well, and in an understandable way.  If it is not understood (the seed of the Kingdom, which is the Gospel, the work of Christ, and its ramifications in our lives) then that gives Satan the opportunity to snatch up the seed before it can even take root.
