In the Parable of the Sower, to what did Jesus compare the seed?

• A. A heavenly message
• B. The Word of God
• C. Faith
• D. A farmer's grain

Answer: (D)

The seed represents the Word of God—the message God wants people to hear and respond to. In the Parable of the Sower, Jesus explains that when this Word is received into a receptive heart, it grows, takes root, and produces spiritual fruit; when the heart is not receptive, the Word doesn't take hold. So the seed isn’t a general heavenly message, nor faith itself, nor a farmer’s grain—it's specifically the Word of God and how people receive and respond to it.
