In Matthew 13:37, Jesus explains that He is the one who sows the good seed in His parable of the wheat and tares. This indicates that Jesus is the primary actor in bringing forth God's kingdom on earth.
Explained for Children
Imagine you're planting a garden where you put only beautiful flowers. Just like how you plant those flowers, Jesus plants the 'good seeds' or the people who love Him into the world. He takes care of them to grow and make the world better.
Historical Background
Matthew wrote this Gospel in Greek for Jewish Christians around AD 80-90. It was intended to show how Jesus fulfilled Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah. The audience would have understood agricultural metaphors well, as farming was a significant part of their lives.
Living It Out Today
Consider a situation where you're trying to influence your friends positively. Just like Jesus plants 'good seeds' in the world, you can try to spread good actions and thoughts among your peers at school or work.
