The Mystery of Seeds
Then Jesus said, "The kingdom of God is like a man that
plants seed in the ground. The seed begins to grow. It grows
night and day. It is not important if the man is sleeping or
awake; the seed still grows. The man does not know how the
seed grows. Without any help, the ground grows grain. First
the plant grows, then the head, and then all the grain in the
head. When the grain is ready, the man cuts it. This is the
harvest time."
-- Mark 4:26-29 (ERV)
The Kingdom of God is progressing toward an end. While we may not fully
understand all that goes on, we can be sure that it is growing, and
when it comes to full maturity, the harvest will come. There is
movement and mystery, but ultimately, there is harvest. We also need to
understand this about the Kingdom: the power of the Kingdom moves
despite our lack of complete understanding about all that is going on
in this work of God. One thing is certain, however; when all things are
ready, the harvest will come. The one question for us is whether or not
we will be a part of this movement and mystery?
