The Seed that Germinates and Brings Forth a Harvest.  
26And He said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 27and should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knows not how. 28For the earth brings out fruit of itself, first the blade, then the ear, after that the full grain in the ear. 29But when the fruit has been brought out, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.
MKJV
Insights
  • The seed is the Word of God within you, and if it is watered and nourished, it becomes a fruit bearing tree for the kingdom of God.
  • The seed springs forth, he knows not how it grows, all of man's worldly human knowledge cannot explain how the kingdom of God increases in our life. But, if we believe and desire the kingdom, waiting for it with a patience expectation, the kingdom will root and grow in our life.
