Wasteful farming practices?

Christian, St. David's, UCA, Worship Add Comment (0)

From Matthew’s gospel we hear the parable of the Sower, where seed is scattered with reckless abandon onto places that seem wasteful. This sign of God’s abundance is added to when Jesus speaks of the harvest from fertile soil – it is much more than farmers could ever hope for in reality.

Is this a sign of how much God loves us? Is it a story with a simple moral – that we ought to listen?
