The Parable of the Sower: Difference between revisions

The path represents the hardened heart that does not receive the Word. Typologically, it points to the path by the garden in Genesis, where Jesus first revealed Himself. The birds symbolize Adam and Eve: Adam as the eagle who forgot God’s Word, and Eve as the osprey, whose name contains “goat” (a symbol of sin in the flesh). The rejection of God’s Word in the garden is reversed in Christ, who offers Himself as the Word for redemption.
