They may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand, lest they should turn and be forgiven.

Mark 4:12

The parable's were for His disciples. Jesus was there to explain them to them. The meanings were lost on those that hadn't made the commitment to Him.

I read the bible before I was saved. Great story but the depth and truth it contained escaped me. It wasn't until I accepted Him by faith that I began grasping the message. I had to receive the Holy Spirit to guide me through His word. Still, if I read now with my thoughts elsewhere I'm right back where I started.

Father, I come to You with a mind empty of me. Fill me with Your Spirit and guide me in truth.
