The Sower, The Seed, And the Soils: How Is Your Heart?
Farming is hard work and takes great patience and great faith. A good harvest depends on just the right conditions: the right preparation, the right soil, the right weather, etc. Jesus used this imagery in the Parable of the Sower. In this parable, the seed represents the Word of God, and the different soils represent the hearts of those who hear it. Let’s examine this familiar parable and see what Jesus teaches us about how God’s word is received. And let us consider how we can cultivate a heart that is open to God’s word.
