—Mark 4:1-9

Jesus’ references to soil and sowing seem out of step with the lives most of us lead. We don’t worry about growing crops and getting a good yield. Most of us drive to the local supermarket where we find everything we could ever need from produce to ready-made sliced bread. Jesus knew his audience and evoked images to which they could relate. When we witness to others, do we use images to which they can relate?
