Mark 4:26-29 - Homilies By A.f. Muir
The seed cast upon the earth; or, the self-development of truth in the heart of man.
I. THERE IS A PRE - ESTABLISHED HARMONY BETWEEN THE TRUTH AND HUMAN NATURE . The seed left in the soil germinates because of the mutual adaptation; so the Word of God.
II. THE WORD OF THE KINGDOM HAS AN INNATE POWER OF DEVELOPMENT . Under the appointed conditions it is bound to grow.

2 . It is taken account of and judged in its final r esult.—M.
