Among many miracles and parables in today’s reading Jesus opens with comparing the Word of God with seeds and the world as a field planted. We can even say that WE are the field and Christ is the seed which the Father plants in us. The beauty of seeds is in how they transform. As seeds they are small and insignificant like a mustard seed, “which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree.” (Matthew 13.32)
If we embrace that a seed of faith has been planted within us we will also embrace that how are today must transform as the seeds grows within us. If not, the seed dies and we become mere dirt. It also implies that we are never done growing as the seed continues to blossom into the tree it is destined to be. Likewise our life is destined for greatness in the Kingdom of Heaven if only we nurtured the seed of faith and let it grow.
He who has ears to hear let him hear.
