Teaching Focus for the Lesson:


Jesus sometimes used his imagination to make up parables to help people learn by also using their imagination. Jesus encouraged others to use their imagination whilst
listening to the parables so that they could understand and be taught the important lessons.
As a class the students look particularly on the parable titled the parable of the sower. By looking at this parable students are able to relate to and understand how important
imagination is to understand the stories and to create a picture in their head of what the story is telling them.

Appendix 1:

The Parable of the Sower That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake. 2 Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a
boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore. 3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 As he
was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up
quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell
among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a cropa hundred, sixty or thirty times what was
sown. 9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.
10 The disciples came to him and asked, Why do you speak to the people in parables?
11He replied, Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12 Whoever has will be given more,
and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables:Though
seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: You will be ever hearing but never
understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.15 For this peoples heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have
closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.[a]

But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.17 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what
16

you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.

Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: 19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil
18

one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path.20 The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who
hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the
word, they quickly fall away.22 The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of
wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. 23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one
who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.
