The Harvest is Plenty


“Other seeds fell into the good soil, and as they grew up and increased, they yielded a crop and produced thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold.” And He was saying, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”


This passage from Mark, chapter 4, offers an image of abundant growth. Yet, earlier in the parable, the
sower appears somewhat indiscriminate, scattering seed in all directions—many of which fall in places
where they cannot thrive. As with many of Jesus’ parables, the story is simple but layered with meaning.

Este pasaje de Marcos, capítulo 4, ofrece una imagen de crecimiento abundante. Sin embargo, anteriormente en la parábola, el sembrador parece un tanto indiscriminado, esparciendo semillas por todas partes, muchas de las cuales caen en lugares donde no prosperan. Como en muchas de las parábolas de Jesús, la historia es sencilla pero llena de significado. Las imágenes agrarias hubieran resonado profundamente en su audiencia del primer siglo, quienes encontraron en estas historias no solo un reflejo de su vida cotidiana, sino también un mensaje espiritual más profundo para reflexionar y aplicar.
Hoy en día, menos vivimos cerca de la tierra. Para muchos, nuestra “cosecha” ocurre en los pasillos de un supermercado, no en un campo o una viña. Aun así, la metáfora es válida: la tierra que nos rodea —nuestra comunidad— es rica en posibilidades.
