"Because of its simplicity the parable of the sower has not been valued as it should be.
From the natural seed cast into the soil,
Christ desires to lead our minds to the gospel seed,
the sowing of which results in bringing man back to his loyalty to God.
The sower sowed his seed.
Christ taught the truth because He was the truth.
His own thought,
His character,
His life-experience,
were embodied in His teaching.
So with His servants: those who would teach the word are to make it their own by a personal experience.
----He desires us to
meditate upon His love and mercy,
to study His wonderful work in the great plan of redemption.
The only hope for these souls is to realize in themselves the truth of Christ's words to Nicodemus, "Ye must be born again." "Except a man be born from above, he can not see the kingdom of God." John 3:7, 3."
