Excerpt:
The Lord is impressing to His disciples that the kingdom of God functions like the sower sowing seed. Once the seed has been sown, it functions automatically, in and of itself. It is not man's work. It is not people going out and trying to motivate other people. We can encourage them, but we cannot get people to respond to be obedient to Jesus Christ. God's kingdom functions on its own, totally dependent upon God's Spirit and not upon man.
