In Mark 4, we read parables about the Kingdom of Heaven. Let's discuss verses 26 to 29.
"The kingdom of God is like this,” he said. “A man scatters seed on the ground. He sleeps and rises night and day; the seed sprouts and grows, although he doesn’t know how. The soil produces a crop by itself — first the blade, then the head, and then the full grain on the head. As soon as the crop is ready, he sends for the sickle, because the harvest has come."
This parable starts with God sowing, and it ends with him reaping. We are first introduced to the man; then (at the end), the man is referred to by his pronoun.
A man scatters seed. (God shares His Word)
Seed sprouts and grows (Word causes some to become Christians)
Although he doesn’t know how (God does not know the future exhaustively)
The soil produces a crop by itself (Little by little, Christians grow Christianity by their own actions)
As soon as the crop is ready, he sends for the sickle (God ends the age)
