“Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.”
A watermelon is packed with seeds, tiny symbols of life and potential. This verse uses the image of a seed to describe the Word of God.

Watermelon seeds may seem small and insignificant, but in God’s kingdom, even the smallest things carry powerful purpose.
