... the one who received the seed in rich soil is the man who hears the word and understands it; he is the one who yields a harvest ...
Mt.13:23
Mt.13:23
Jesus is explaining the meaning of the Parable of the Sower to His disciples. The lesson is important enough to be explained carefully and recorded in detail in Matthew's Gospel. And the lesson? The rich soil is the man who has understanding.
Jesus infers here that understanding is a treasure to aspire for. It sounds like hard work involving reading and study and disciple. Well, yes it does involve all this but there is a joy that comes with it that makes it NOT hard work. That's why it's a joy for me to be spending this Bible study time this morning. The harvest always makes it worth while.
Holy Spirit. Give me understanding that I may be rich soil and produce a harvest worthy of Jesus.
Little Flower, please pray for me.
