The Good Ground
The first
thing that comes to mind when we hear about a "good ground" is a ground that
one can plant seeds that will germinate at the right time and bear fruit in
its due season.
What makes a
good ground can be described as a land that is not porous as sandy soil that
cannot hold water, a land is not sticky as clay soil that does not absorb
water easily. The land is naturally fertile, not a swampy soil that is
covered with water and not a desert that does not have adequate rain and
suffer constant wind erosion. The sunlight is never in short supply to this
ground and it is not embedded with rock that will not allow the roots of the
plant to have a good grip to the soil. This is the type of ground that
farmers always look for in order to plant their seeds.
The most
distinct of all farmers came about two thousand years ago with a precious
seed. The seed was sown in good grounds in the city of Jerusalem. The seed
germinated and bore much fruit and about three thousand fruits were
harvested on that day. Many people took possession of this seed and went
home with it. The faithful farmers have since been sowing this precious seed
all over the world, even in our own time.
The precious
seed was taken from the Seat of Mercy in Heaven and came to this world
through our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of Living God. His mission of mercy
on earth brought forth this precious seed. The name of the seed is GOSPEL!
Jesus Christ wants your heart to be the best place for this precious seed to
grow, for you are created to bear fruit for the glory of God and from the
beginning you have been prepared for this purpose.
You have been
hearing about the word of God, the good news or the gospel, in the church,
in the crusade ground, on the radio or television; or perhaps you have read
about the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Bible. What impact has this made in
your life? Where has this precious seed fallen in your heart? Is it on a
good ground or on the rocky ground or among the thorns? Will you allow His
death on the Cross to be in vain in your life? Will you this day open your
heart to receive this seed of love that will change your life for good? That
was why He came to die for you and for me that if you receive Him, repent
and turn from your sins you will partake in the finished works of the Cross.
Let Jesus Christ have His way in your good ground.
