In the Parable of the Sower, Jesus speaks of scattering seed—God’s Word—on all types of soil. While the message is deeply personal, it’s also communal. The seed of the Kingdom is meant to shape more than individual hearts; it’s meant to shape how we live together.
Every farmer knows that good seed is essential for a good harvest. However, in Jesus’ parable of the sower, the most astonishing truth is this: the seed never changes. It is the same seed scattered on every type of soil. What varies is not the seed, but the ground it falls upon. “The seed is the word of God,” Jesus says in Luke 8:11(AMP). That unchanging, living, and powerful Word is good and exceptional for every soil it touches.
