Mark 4:4
This parable is about how the Word of God is responded to. In this verse we see that, whenever the gospel is preached, there will be those who simply do not hear at all. They are the way side. The gospel is lost on them. It has no effect, takes no root, and is of no interest to their hearts. Sadly, this is often the largest group among those who hear the truth.
And why is this? Why would the truth not penetrate more easily? Well, their lives have been filled with desensitizing agents. Lies and deceit have so clouded their judgement, it is difficult for the truth to take hold. God is not the author of confusion, but Satan is, and he confuses mankind as much as possible.
