The Parable of the Sower is the first parable in the synoptic Gospels, making it one of the few that Jesus actually explains. As we examine it, we learn that God the Father is a gracious sower of his seed, willing to share his word generously and without regard for cost. Jesus is the the seed, or the word, and in him is life. The four soils are the various conditions of our heart. Jesus gives us insight into the kingdom of heaven by reflecting upon the Sower, the Seed, and the Soil.
