Mar 4:26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
Mar 4:27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
Mar 4:28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
Mar 4:29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
The kingdom of God, this is our study and should be our study, it was Christ's gospel. Christ preached the kingdom of God over and over and over. The kingdom of God was to be a REALITY for everyone, not something fabled, not something passed down from generation to generation without much thought. The kingdom of God. No one should think of Christ without thinking about the Kingdom of God! He came to make it real to us! He came to make it possible for us. Christ's death and resurrection assured us of a place in His kingdom with Him.
The kingdom-
A seed cast to the ground.
A seed overnight springing up.
A seed growing.
As much as scientists can tear apart a seed and have explained away the hows and wherefores of how a seed grows, it is still amazing. It's still miraculous.
The earth bringing forth fruit.
The blade.
The ear.
Then the corn in the ear.
Christ.
Christ's death.
Christ's resurrection.
Redemption of Christ's followers.
Christ's life, death, resurrection.
Acceptance and belief in Christ.
A new life in Christ here on earth.
A new life in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Mar 4:30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
Mar 4:31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
Mar 4:32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
A teeny tiny seed with potential that is unimaginable when you look at that tiny seed. How strange it is to imagine the huge tree from such a tiny beginning.
Our Savior - God born to a woman, an infant growing to manhood, a man grown to do God's will ushering in the Kingdom of Heaven. The kingdom of heaven where all who would be His, where all who would choose love will be!
The kingdom of heaven.
The kingdom of God.
Our Savior Jesus Christ, the kingdom of heaven!
The kingdom of heaven what a marvelous hope!
Living in this world we need the hope of heaven, we need the hope of life in Christ.
Please Lord, be our hope now and forever!
