Mark 4:26-27
_ _ Mark 4:26-29. Parable of the seed growing we know not how.
_ _ This beautiful parable is peculiar to Mark. Its design is to teach the Imperceptible Growth of the word sown in the heart, from its earliest stage of development to the ripest fruits of practical righteousness.
_ _ So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; and should sleep, and rise night and day — go about his other ordinary occupations, leaving it to the well-known laws of vegetation under the genial influences of heaven. This is the sense of “the earth bringing forth fruit of herself,” in Mark 4:27. |
Mark 4:26
So is the kingdom of God — The inward kingdom is like seed which a man casts into the ground — This a preacher of the Gospel casts into the heart. And he sleeps and rises night and day — That is, he has it continually in his thoughts. Meantime it springs and grows up he knows not how — Even he that sowed it cannot explain how it grows. For as the earth by a curious kind of mechanism, which the greatest philosophers cannot comprehend, does as it were spontaneously bring forth first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear: so the soul, in an inexplicable manner, brings forth, first weak graces, then stronger, then full holiness: and all this of itself, as a machine, whose spring of motion is within itself. Yet observe the amazing exactness of the comparison. The earth brings forth no corn (as the soul no holiness) without both the care and toil of man, and the benign influence of heaven. |
Mark 4:26
(4) And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
(4) The Lord sows and reaps in a manner unknown to men. |
