Jesus says in one of his most popular parables is that the seed is the word of God. That the gospel of Christ as the seed of the kingdom is powerful, able to convict, convince and to convert. Peter mentioned that “you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.” Then Paul reminds us of good news, the gospel, (death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus) is the “power of God unto salvation.” Jesus, Peter, and Paul’s words confirm that the primary purpose of sowing the seed is for reproduction. For this birthing to happen, each of us has a responsibility to tell others about Jesus, the good news, so that the seed, once accepted by an honest heart will produce, by God’s power, another life-giving soul.
