每日箴言

尽情挥撒种子

“有一个撒种的出去撒种。撒的时候,有落在路旁的,被人践踏,天上的飞鸟又来吃尽了。” - 路 8:5

 灵修

想像一下这个场景:耶稣去过许多城镇和乡村传道。在这个特别的日子,各个城镇的人聚在一块。耶稣停下来,看着人群,讲述了一个农夫撒种的故事,种子有落在路旁的,磐石上的,荆棘里的,也有落在肥沃好土里的。


农民大幅度撒种时,有许多种子被浪费了。但耶稣并不是要在教授农耕课,而是让每个人从天父的角度去理解这个故事。在耶稣的听众中,能抓住这比喻教训的人寥寥无几,就连祂的门徒也要请祂讲解这个故事真正的含意。


而这个故事真正的含意就是:耶稣自己是那撒种的人,祂将神的话撒在各种各样人的心思意念里。有些人留心听且听进去了,其他人却没有。耶稣在故事结尾的时候敦促人们留心听祂的话,好使神的话在他们里面扎根成长。神的国,就是因着神长久忍耐的怜悯,藉着祂的儿子来到。


你的心是否是一块肥沃的土壤,能听见神的话呢?你有没有竭尽全力地向他人撒种呢?

 祷告

亲爱的耶稣,求祢今天试验我心中的土壤。感谢祢在我的生命中挥撒祢美好的话语。求祢预备我的心,来接受这宝贵的礼物,好使它成长,并结出可以与他人分享的果子。奉祢的名求,阿们。


普世佳音每日箴言

 A Wasteful Seed Story

“A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up.” - Luke 8:5


 Devotion


Imagine the setting: Jesus has been preaching in many towns and villages. On this particular day, a large crowd gathers from town after town. Jesus stops, looks at the crowd, and tells the story of a farmer who scatters seed that lands on the footpath, on rocky soil, among thorns, and also on good, fertile soil.


A lot of seed was wasted as the farmer spread it wide. But Jesus was not trying to teach people good planting practices. He was asking everyone to consider this story from the Father’s point of view. It’s likely that very few of his listeners caught Jesus’ point in this parable. Even his disciples had to ask him what the story really meant.


Here’s the scoop. Jesus himself is the sower as he spreads the word of God in all kinds of people’s minds and hearts. Some pay attention and hear, and others don’t. Jesus ends the story by urging people to pay attention to his words so that the Word of God can root and grow in them. That’s how the kingdom of God comes, under the conditions of God’s patient mercy through his Son.


Are you someone whose heart is fertile soil to hear God’s Word? And are you spreading that seed widely and wildly to others?



 Prayer

Dear Jesus, test the soil of my heart today. Thank you for wastefully spreading your good Word in my life. Make my heart ready to receive the gift of your life-giving Word, that it may grow and produce a crop to share with others. Amen.
