In the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:1-9, 19-23), the gospel is a transformative seed sown by Jesus, its impact depending on the heart’s condition: hardened paths reject it, rocky ground hosts shallow faith that fades, thorny soil is choked by worldly cares, and good soil yields abundant fruit through God’s grace. Jesus, as both sower and seed, calls all to trust Him, reject distractions, and let the gospel take root for a fruitful life.
