<p>THE SOWER AND THE SEED Today I would like to share the parable of the Sower and the seed.</p> <p>Matthew 13:3 Jesus told the people many things in parables, saying, ‘A Sower went out to sow. While he sowed, some seeds fell beside the roadway, and the birds came and devoured them. But other seeds fell on rocky ground where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up because they did not have deep soil. But when the sun rose, they were scorched. And because they did not take root, they withered away. Some seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. But other seeds fell into good ground and produced grain: a hundred, sixty, or thirty times as much. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.’</p> <p>Jesus explained the parable of his Kingdom to his disciples, and he described the seed as the Word of the Kingdom.

Jesus likens the seed that is being sown in this parable to that same living Word logos, which has the power to transform our lives when we receive this seed that is planted into our hearts. James 1:21 … receive with meekness the implanted word (Logos), which is able to save your souls. Paul said that he planted seed and that those that received it with faith were God’s field. He said it was a team effort - he planted the seed and Apollos watered it and God gave the increase (1Corinthians 3:6). The parable describes the way that farmers sowed the fields with seed. The sower was scooping seed out of a satchel that hung around his neck in front of him. He was walking on well prepared soil in a field and scattering seed as he went. There is a roadway beside the field and beside the
