He's a sower because he sows the word of God. But there are sowers in the body of Christ who haven't sowed the word in a very long time. They haven't told anyone about Jesus and His love for man. John 15:13 says "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends." We reconcile friends, neighbours, lovers and colleagues but we don't seek to reconcile lost men to God their creator.
Unto us has been given the ministry and the word of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18 & 19). God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself; that's what should be said about us; that God is in us reconciling the world unto Himself.
It's really a test of our love for fellow men. What we do with the word of God that has been given to us reveals the magnitude and also the existence of love in our hearts for others and for God. Don't be content being a worker in church; do the work of an evangelist. There's a special blessing reserved for those who talk to others about Jesus. "Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever." Daniel 12:3
To do: Prepare yourself every morning to share the gospel with at least one person a day. Post short messages on your Twitter, Facebook and Google+ profiles telling the love of God. Give out a helpful book and invite people to church.
