Scripture Reading: Matthew 13:1-9; 18-23
Jesus was always teaching. On this particular day His pulpit was a fishing boat, from which He spoke to the multitudes standing on the shore. Perhaps there was a sower somewhere in sight, walking on his field, carrying his bag of grain and slinging his seed broadcast. The sight may have suggested the parable.
Christ Himself is the great Sower, but we all are sowers — sowers of something. Not all who sow scatter good see; there are sowers of evil as well as of good. We should take heed what we sow, for we shall gather the harvest into our own bosom at the last. “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” — that, and not something else (Gal. 6:7).
