On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

So is the kingdom of God; so is the gospel, when it is sown, and received, as seed in good ground. It will come up; though it seem lost and buried under the clods, it will find or make its way through them.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

So is the kingdom of God - The inward kingdom is like seed which a man casts into the ground - This a preacher of the Gospel casts into the heart. And he sleeps and rises night and day - That is, he has it continually in his thoughts.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
