The Parable of the Sower II

One thing I forgot about yesterday's post was that maybe I'm reading too much into the parable to begin with. It is about the sower, and not the fields necessarily. The implication is that the sower sows the seed, but really has no impact on the outcome. The seed is the same, and the sower does his job and goes on his way. So, maybe Jesus is speaking more to those who will sow the seeds rather than those who will receive it, and by focusing on the fields I am focusing on the wrong part. I know that we can get way off base if we start trying to explain all the teeny weeny details of a parable, when in reality it's only to illustrate one thing.

Just a thought.
