The point of Jesus’ parable is that the seed, the gospel, is spread over all kinds of soil, but only takes root in good soil. Tim is right when he says that we’re too stingy in spreading the seed — only looking for a place where it can sprout — rather than trusting God to give the increase.
Tim’s full post is at his blog Provocations and Pantings.
