#22 THE GOOD FARMERS

Any farmer knows how to work with the soil, weather, seed stock and seasons in getting the most out of his or her land, time and resources. Likewise, Jesus used the soil to represent humanity, and the seed to represent the Word of God. As we grow in our understanding of the Gospel Commission, we need to be guided by the secrets of the Kingdom as outlined in the parable of the farmer.
