Q: Was not Jesus using the Parable of the Sower to present his Father as 'the Word was God'?
A: Parable was his way of separating the corruptible seed from the incorruptible seed. Peter's epistle qualifies this process as 'born again' and separates the incorruptible from the ungodly world,, "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever."(1 Pe.1:23). This is according to the will of God ,the unseen world and how it was made to appear? By his word, is it not? "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."( 1 John 5:7,1). Whosoever believes,"that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. " Father Son relationship is built about the word. It also explains "the only begotten Son," status, He is the firstborn since it was the word of God that framed the world where the fullness of God is made to appear. Framing a painting to hang in a gallery to show off the excellence of the artist is one way of putting it.
Each believer has a volume. Heaven bears blessing upon the seed thus sown by the word of God. God gives a body to the herbs trees,- "And the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself," has to show by the fruits whether it be good or bad. Israel would not bear the seed so Jesus said,"But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up"(Matt.15:13).
But what is the firstborn? According to the covenant a believer's world is as promised by God in his Son and it ought to show by fruits. This is explained by the term firstborn. "Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my son, even my firstborn."(Ex.4:22-23) Pharaoh's first born of the corruptible seed. "Israel failed so parable was one way of separating the unteachable from those whose heart still showed some promise.
