Mark 4:26-29

In the book of Mark the teaching of that parable is very interesting because it has very much to do with the way God wants you and me to serve. It says you sow a seed and the thing grows. You do not even know why it grows. But it grows until it actually produces fruit and then you reap it.

What does that have to do with service? It is an encouragement to you and me to not be afraid to serve when nobody is looking. He is saying, "Don't worry. It's going to produce the right kind of fruit and in the end, you're going to reap because you sowed the seed." That is a promise from God, if it is done in the right attitude.

Nobody has to know but God. That is why that parable is there. It has to do with service, not with authority. It has to do with service, and it is a promise that growth will occur. It will take place and it will produce the right kind of fruit.
