In the Parable of the Sower from Matthew 13 Jesus speaks of the seed being cast onto four types of soil. The fourth type of soil is the good soil. Jesus is the Word made Flesh, literally the Seed made Dirt. He is both the Good Soil and the Seed and in the wake of his resurrection and ascension he sends the Holy Spirit to till us whose paths are perverted, and clear us of rocks and stumbling stones, as well clear us from the thorns of worldly worries and riches so we become good fertile soil in Jesus Christ.
