THORNY GROUND
Matt. 13:7. "And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them out.
Mark 4:7. "And other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it yielded no crop.
Luke 8:7. "And other seed fell among the thorns; and the thorns grew up with it, and choked it out.
As with the rocky soil, the thorny ground appears just like the good soil with the exception that the plow will dig deep with ease. The problem with this soil is that it is unrecognizably full of the fibrous roots of the perennial weeds that are now dormant and ready to spring to life.
In this third kind of soil some of the sower’s seed fell and the thorns came up and choked them out. This is due to the strength with which the weeds grow that good seed cannot overcome. As with the rocky ground, this is other seed that fell among the thorns yielded no crop.
