Soil Produces Grain

 

 

He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.”

 

Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth.  Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.”

 

Mark 4:26-32

 

Someone, somewhere in your life has tried to “save” you. If you did not know what that means, give your life to Jesus now. And you will be saved.

 

All soil can produce grain, but it doesn’t grow at the same time.

 

Thank the Lord you have been saved. You are the grain that comes from the soil.

 

We sow the seed, God produces the harvest.
