“The farmer plants seed by taking God’s word to others.”
Mark 4:14 NLT
The kingdom growth process begins with someone casting seed upon the soil. A farmer would never expect anything from the soil unless he had first sowed seed. In the same way, the church of Jesus Christ, the kingdom of God on earth, will grow and spread only where the gospel seed is being sown. According to Mark 4, he tells us that the seed represents the Word of God.
We are commanded to spread the Gospel message. But nowhere in Scripture do we see human beings causing spiritual rebirth in others. Spiritual rebirth is a work of God, and a work of God alone. And yet, at the same time, there is a process leading up to that rebirth, and in that process, Christ calls for our participation. Very few Christians are willing to engage in this process. Jesus has asked us to sow the seed. And while we should not view ourselves as personally responsible for another person's salvation, we must not view ourselves as unnecessary to the process either.
How much seed have you sown in another?
All In!!
