"1) If I gave you understanding (into sowing the seed of the kingdom,the parable immediately before it) and you do not use it, then it's like you have no understanding at all and you will perish. What is hidden is meant to be disclosed.
2) Yet the power lies not in you, but in the seed, lest you be confused about who/what is doing the work.
3) And don't be afraid that small seeds won't bear big fruit. They will. It's how it works. That's the confidence I leave with you."

Parables & Seeds
Got back from vacation tonight (a great time with the family at the beach). I am preaching tomorrow on Mark 4:20-34. Betsy, my wife, summarized it very well.

"Sow your seed in the morning
and at evening let not your hands be idle,
for you do not know which will succeed,
whether this or that,
or whether both will do equally well."
ecclesiastes 11:6
