Mathew Chapter 13/ 1-9

1 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the asea side.

2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

5 Some fell upon astony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

7 And some fell among athorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

8 But other fell into good ground, and abrought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.


Poem Artwork


 


Consider if you will my friend how all of life does begin.


It all started out as dirt be it clay or sand and that is what it will be in the end.


 


Consider that man came from the ground just as did the flower and tree.


The same creator made all that our eye doth see.


 


Think about our lowly beginning and remember as we are nourished we grow.


This is the way of life.  The soil is tilled then the seeds are scattered to and fro.


 


Jesus once told of this amazing conception.


He explained it so there would be cause for acceptation.


 


He warned that some seed fell on rocky ground and had no chance to sprout.


Others fell in the sand and quickly sprouted but soon were burned out.


 


The seeds that fell on fertile soil grew tall and strong.


Like the flowers in the field that dance to the winds lively song.


 


He told us to find fertile soil in which to sow our seeds.


Love our neighbor and help those in need.


 


Liken this parable to this example to understand.


Let not your heart be hardened like the rock.


 


Let it not be shallow as is the sand where the seed finds no substance.


Let your soul be fertile and willing to give loves a chance.


 


This is where you find your creator through his son, our savior.


Seeds sown on fertile ground are recognized by loves behavior.
