“A Sower went out to sow.” The way Jesus tells the parable focuses on the sower. In the explanation of the parable a little later in the chapter the emphasis shifts to what happens to the seed after it is sown and most times that is where preachers have tended to focus. Are we good soil which will accept the seed? However, if you put your focus on the sower you get a different point. The parable suggests that what matters is getting the word out there. Yes, the word will not always be well received for any number of reasons but that is not what the sower concentrates on. The sower, the spreader of the word, leaves the results in the hands of God.
