New One

Mark 4:26-29
26 And He was saying, "The kingdom of God is like a man who casts seed upon the soil;27 and goes to bed at night and gets up by day, and the seed sprouts up and grows-- how, he himself does not know.28 "The soil produces crops by itself; first the blade, then the head, then the mature grain in the head.29 "But when the crop permits, he immediately puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come."(NAS)

Reading Mark, I ran across this parable. I'd never before heard this one that I could remember. Spreading the gospel is like sowing seed. We are not the ones who make the seed grow and produce; that is the job of the Holy Spirit. We are simply to go out and "preach the good news."
