More Stories!
The farmer plants seed. It grows. The farmer harvests – but he doesn’t have any idea how it grows.
A pine nut sprouts and grows into a huge tree and birds nest in it.
(Or a mustard seed…)
Different stories for different crowds. But all stories they can relate to. That we disciples can relate to.
But there is a bigger, deeper meaning. I don’t know if someone said something to Jesus – or he just “knew” – he does that a lot – like he “knows” what people are thinking and feeling. Anyway, after the crowds leave Jesus explains the stories to us – the larger meaning.
