First, in the New Testament book of Matthew, in Chapter 13, you may recall the parable of the sower. It says:
“A farmer was sowing grain his fields. As he scattered the seed across the ground, some fell beside a path, and the birds came and ate it.
And some fell on rocky soil, where there was little depth of earth; the plants sprang up quickly enough in the shallow soil, but the hot sun soon scorched them and they withered and died, for they had so little root.
Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns choked out the tender blades.
But some fell on good soil, and produced a crop that was thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times as much as he had planted.
If you have ears, listen!?
(Matthew 13:3b-9, The Living Bible)
