What is the very first parable that Jesus tells in the Gospels? What do the path, the rocky ground, and the thorns symbolize? And why is that sower such a bad shot? With a little better aim he could have gotten all the seed squarely on just the good soil and saved everyone a lot of trouble! But the seed is meant to be scattered lavishly because it is the Word of God, who says to you, I give myself to you.
(Video) Sowers who are bad shots
