THE KINGDOM PARABLES<br />
Jesus is the seed that fell on this earth and has given rise to abundance<br />
of fruits - a multitude of Christ like beings - the Christians. It is because<br />
that seed died and that produced the fruit. This is what Jesus referring<br />
to. The processes of sowing is an on going process and the food seeds<br />
are the Christians.<br />
Paul uses this image in 1 Cor thus:<br />
1cor 3: 6I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. 7 So neither<br />
he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.<br />
8 The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be<br />
rewarded according to his own labor.9 For we are God's fellow workers; you are<br />
God's field, God's building.<br />
In Galations Paul Identified the seed promised to Abraham as Jesus:<br />
Gal 3: 16 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture<br />
does not say "and to seeds," meaning many people, but "and to your seed," meaning<br />
one person, who is Christ.<br />
