The Kingdom of God

(a) Jesus told many parables about the Kingdom of God.
Choose two of the following and describe what he said:

The lamp under a bowl

or

The seed growing secretly

or

The mustard seed

(8)

(b) In the parable of the sower, Jesus describes those who find the message of the Kingdom difficult to accept. In what ways might people today be like the seeds in the parable which did not grow?

(6)

(c) In Mark 4, Jesus says ‘The person who has something will be given more, and the person who has nothing will have taken away from him even what he has.’
Some people say that this means that God will make rich people even richer if they are good at looking after money. Do you agree? Say why in your answer.
