Jesus' sovereignty spreads through a seed.

If we want to understand who God is and how he works, we don’t need to climb up to him. Jesus brings heaven’s best secrets down to earth. He reveals God to us using ordinary, everyday things. This week we see how God exercises his power in our world in a way that resembles the power of a seed. Though a seed is small and seems to be dead, it is full of both life and power. In the same way, God grows his kingdom in our world not through traditional means of force, wealth, or military might. Instead, his Word is the seed that he scatters abroad into the hearts of people. Though all are able to and many will rejected it, God’s Word has the life and power to change our hearts and spread God’s rule.
