When I was just a kid, my daddy put about fifty pounds of grass seed in an over sized tow sack; rolled the top down and set it up on the hood of an old red belly Ford tractor. He then sat himself astraddle the the machine and instructed me to drive back and forth over the plowed ground while he slung the seed in front and from side to side. I can still see him today; his arm swaying back and forth with a steady even motion and his hand scooping up the grain with every pass.
Jesus of Nazareth said that the proclamation of the good news concerning Him was like that. When the message was believed and obeyed, it was like seed falling upon good ground and producing a fine crop.Like wise young people today need to understand that they can plant beans, corn and squash and live off of the produce. That is unless the seed was collected from a plant that was genetically altered so that the seed will not germinate. Even so with the massage concerning Jesus; we by the grace and providence of God still have access to the good and pure seed as recorded by the apostles and prophets the Christ if we will take the time to search it out for ourselves. Sadly, much of what is being spouted today has been contaminated, perverted and counterfitted until multitudes of people have turned away from it in disgust. But I rejoice to tell you that the real person still lives and you can know His blessings and peace! G W Partin.
