The Word of God thru Parables
The Parable of the Growing Seed
The Parable of the Seed Growing Secretly
Mark 4:26-29
This parable takes off from the statement "So is the kingdom of God as if a man should cast a seed into ground." The sowing of seed is followed by growing which is followed by the harvest. What happens after the seed is planted is left to the secret workings of the power of God. The progress of growth in the Divine kingdom calls for waiting, being gradual and slow in accordance with natural law. The farmer's non-cognizance of growth in verse 27 "he knowth not how" refers to the face that life and growth are to a large extent mysterious to even an experienced agriculturist.
