Mark 4:26
So is the kingdom of God. This parable is given only by Mark, but
its general lesson is enforced by parallel passages, e.g. Isaiah 55:10
James 5:7 1Pe 1:23-25. In the kingdom of grace, as in nature, we
are laborers together with God; the results of our work depend on him,
and for the perfection of these results he takes his own time
(1 Corinthians 3:6-9). Hence, (1) it is ours to sow the seed (the truth), his
to give it growth; (2) having sown, we are to wait for time and God to
perfect it; (3) this he does according to the definite order of
development--first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the
ear; (4) not until there has been time for the development, are we to
expect to reap. The lesson is one of trust and hope.
Should cast seed. The word of God, the Gospel.
