Seed that fails to take root pictures those whose commitment to Christ is not firm enough to withstand trouble or persecution (Matthew 13:6 ,Matthew 13:6,13:21 ). To be rooted in Christ is to be established in faith (Colossians 2:6 ). Root of Jesse (Isaiah 11:10; Romans 15:12 ) and root of David (Revelation 5:5; Revelation 22:16 ) serve as titles of the Messiah. In Paul's allegory of the grape vine Israel is the root of the plant, the church the branches (Romans 11:16-18 ).
