Nine verses tonight! It’s a short one.
Two more parables tonight, both pretty short. I’m going to
go out of order because I think the second one is easier to understand. Well,
maybe I think it is easier because it is more well-known. I’ve heard the
mustard seed one plenty of times. You just need a little bit of faith, and it
can grow into something marvelous. Your faith can grow into something enormous.
Just a tiny little mustard seed.
So the first one is harder. A man grows some plants, then
harvests them, but he doesn’t understand how the plant grows. Only I can’t tell
who the man is. Maybe it’s supposed to be us—a human, since God would know how
things grow. The man doesn’t know how things grow, not really; there’s maybe
some abstract knowledge, but it’s really kind of a mystery.
But somehow, it grows. And somehow, faith grows. We don’t
know how. The seed chose me—I am a child of God, my seed grows. And it thrives,
and I don’t know how. And one day I may be harvested, but there will be an
output. There will be more of me than there was. Provided I feed, I water, I take
care of my little seed.
I suppose that is what I am doing right now. Watering my
little seed.
Grow, little seed! Grow!
