Parables: The Sower by ric gustafson
Jesus explains the meaning of this parable. Jesus explains that this story refers to the response to the Word of God. The Sower is a preacher and the seeds are truth. The harvest is the Kingdom of Heaven. The land represents people. For some people, the Word is received but not appropriated. Sometimes the Word is accepted but superficially. And sometimes the Word is received, accepted and it goes deep into the soil to sprout in good ground. God wants the Kingdom of God to be accepted and cultivated so it can grow. Will we take that seed and do what we need to do to make it sprout and grow?.
