About The Sower and the Seed
A farmer steps out at dawn and casts seed in wide, generous arcs across the land. Some falls on the hard-packed footpath where birds swoop down to take it; some lands on shallow, rocky ground where it springs up quickly but withers without deep roots; and some is choked out by thorns. But seed that falls on good soil grows up strong and bears a harvest beyond measure. Jesus told this story to anyone who had ears to hear, and its quiet truth has echoed across generations ever since.
