Parable of the Growing Seed
In Mark 4:26-29, Jesus shares the parable of the growing seed. He describes a man who scatters seed on the ground and then goes about his daily activities, sleeping and rising day after day. Meanwhile, the seed sprouts and grows, though the man does not understand how. First, the blade appears, then the head, and finally, the mature grain in the head. Once the grain is ripe, the man immediately harvests it as the time for harvest has come.
How can we apply this parable's principles to our spiritual growth and the advancement of God's kingdom?

About this Plan
Jesus was a master storyteller. He knew that the timeless principles He was trying to articulate would be best remembered through storytelling. He often spoke through parables to (1) communicate a more profound truth, (2) make His teachings more accessible to those who were ready to hear them, and (3) confound those who refused to listen. Parables were shaped to convey a single thought, so don't get lost in the details wondering what each part means. Absorb the story and allow Jesus to communicate His truth to your heart.
