Bible Question: Would someone please give me the meaning of this verse along with the following verse which is V-6. Need the help. |
Bible Answer: Dear Business woman, When you live the Christian life, you will not float down the river on a flowery bed of ease. Look at the life of Jesus, he lived a fairly normal life until he began his ministry, then the whole world turned on him. The religious, government, Jews and Gentiles, all turned against him, that’s all the folks on earth, talk about alone!!! There were tears. Why? Because he was obeying God, regardless of the opposition and desertion he was getting from every human being on earth. He obeyed God despite all of it. That’s what happens to every Christian that is truly obeying God, but it is of eternal significance, you will be glad. The precious seed spoken of in v. 6 is the word of God. See Matt 13:1-23 which is talking about a sower of seed and what kind of ground it’s sown in. Then it explains that the seed is the word of God, and people are the ground the seed is sown in. The type of soil (or people) can be wayside, stony, thorny, or good ground. Notice only one fourth of the ground produces a crop, the good ground. Perhaps it started out as the other three, but with plowing, the wayside became broken up soil, the stones and thorns were removed and lo and behold, we now have good soil, good ground to plant seed into. If you discern it, people are the crop God is seeking, plowing, removing stones and thorns from, to make them fruitful good soil. Sum it up: People are the soil, God is the farmer, God’s word is the seed, Gods’ word is the water, we are the receivers of Gods word so we can be fruitful for ourselves and others. Always in Christ, C.S.M. |
