Today, we listen to God's Word telling us about seeds again. They are sown, and they sprout and grow. However, the Lord directs our attention to the reality of those seeds springing into action in the fact of their growth. They become seedlings. Then, they grow further. How do they do that? We know not how. However, such a mystery does not prevent us from noticing the obvious, namely, they have grown. Later, in maturity, he cites the mustard seeds maturing and producing branches strong enough to carry perching birds. We can even enjoy their shade.
