The Seed Growing Secretly
The kingdom grows with a mysterious inevitability.
Jesus compares the kingdom to seed growing "he knoweth not how": steady, hidden development that ends in harvest.
Scripture
Mark 4:26-29
26 He said, "The Kingdom of God is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,
27 and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he doesn't know how.
28 For the earth bears fruit: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29 But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest has come."
