The Hundredfold Seed – Tomato Example

By Jean 2 Comments

Hundredfold SeedJesus loved to give agricultural examples to His disciples and in his stories. One of my favorites is when He contrasted the different types of soil that that hear the message of the kingdom. I enjoy a bit of gardening and it’s fun to see how just adding a bit of water and sunlight to plants causes them to flourish.

There’s nothing like sweet home-grown tomatoes and this year they provided a perfect illustration of those Bible verses.

A few months ago we bought a little tray of 6 baby tomato seedlings. In the video below, you can see for yourself what a difference soil can make. The other difference is that the huge tomato plant was directly in the ground which allowed the roots to go down deep into the soil.

    Shayla…. the video isn’t completely accurate. Last time I planted the tomatoes, but this year my brother was visiting and he always asks how he can help us. I asked him to plant the tomatoes for me this year. On the phone the other day he couldn’t remember what he did to the soil. We do have ‘miracle grow’ so that might have been added. That plant is still producing like gang busters. It’s been fun sharing tomatoes with friends and neighbors. There’s a bag downstairs with another dozen tomatoes ready to go out. Blessings, Jean
