St John Chrysostom on Parable of Sower
“He did not go out to a certain site. He rather declares a life and provision that concern our salvation. He became close to us by taking on our own physical shape and form. Since we were unable to enter due to our iniquity, He himself came out to us. Whey did he do so? Is it to destroy the land that begot thistles? No, He actually came out to take care of the land, and sow the ender word. He calls his teachings ‘the seeds,’ and the people’s souls he calls ‘a fruitful field,’ and he calls himself ‘The Sower.’
