'Seeds' in the Bible
As he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate them up.
It’s the smallest of all the seeds, but when grown, it’s taller than the vegetables and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the sky come and nest in its branches.”
It’s like a mustard seed that, when sown in the soil, is smaller than all the seeds on the ground.
The seed along the path are those who have heard and then the Devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.
And the seed on the rock are those who, when they hear, welcome the word with joy. Having no root, these believe for a while and depart in a time of testing.
But God gives it a body as He wants, and to each of the seeds its own body.
Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say “and to seeds,” as though referring to many, but referring to one, and to your seed, who is Christ.
