The Parable of the Sower
The Farmer picked up his sack of seed and slung it over his shoulder. He was going to his field to plant his seed.
“Tweedle, dee, dee, two-odle, oo-oo,” the Farmer whistled. The sun was shining and the sky was blue. Birds sang from the trees and crickets chirped merrily. Bees buzzed in circles around beautiful wild flowers. The Farmer’s world was perfect, and he was happy to be going to his field to plant.
The sun would shine, the rain would fall, and the seeds would grow. Soon he would have lots of golden wheat to harvest.
The Farmer marched and whistled past a pretty stream on his way to his field.
And little seeds found a hole in the sack and fell beside the path. The birds swooped down from the trees and snapped them up with their beaks. They were having a feast!
The Farmer came to a rocky place where he put all the rocks he gathered off of his field. His field had to be smooth and black so the seed could grow.
The Farmer picked his way through the rocky place.
The seeds fell among the rocks, but the Farmer didn’t notice. He whistled and walked on.
Finally the Farmer got to his field. He put his hand into his bag to get a handful of seed to spread.
“What has happened?” cried the Farmer. His bag was not full anymore! Where had the seed gone?
The Farmer studied his bag of seeds. He found the hole.
The farmer looked behind him and saw the trail of seeds. He did not whistle now.
The Parable of the Sower: Children’s Bible Lesson
Jesus told this story, the Parable of the Sower, to all the people who gathered to hear him by the seashore.
Back in the the time of Jesus, he told the people lots of parable stories.
These stories that did not actually happen, but were meant to help people know more about God and how to serve Him.
The stories Jesus told help us even today to learn how to love God and Jesus better. The meaning of the stories has more value than the stories, and that is what Jesus intended.
