Time for Sowing the Seed

In this spring planting season the parable of the sower and the soils in Mark 4 resonates in my mind and heart. Jesus basically told the disciples that seed sowing (sharing God's Word) is the business of His followers and there will be all sorts of people who hear and respond. We are not responsible for the responses jut the seed sowing. Sow the seed of God's Word and by God's grace it will fall on hearts that "hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirty, sixty, and a hundred fold" (Mk.4:20b).
