26 He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. 27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. 28 All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. 29 As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.”
THINK ABOUT IT
This powerful parable appears only in Mark. The slow and hidden kingdom certainly challenged the desire for dramatic, divine invention found in most apocalyptic thought in the first century. Jesus did not deny a judgment day, but he did reinterpret its timing (see Joel 3:13).
