............to plant.....
All his history, man has wrestled with the
soil, with weeds and blight, storm and
drought -
a successful crop needs care and nurture.
As people we grow, and growth is a
struggle.
Jesus used plant growth as an illustration -
a life, he said, that gives too much
importance to material things will not
grow; it will very soon be stunted:
"other seed fell among thorns,
which grew up and choked the
plants..."
This "is the man who hears the
word, but worries of this life and
the deceitfulness of wealth
choke it, making it unfruitful."
- Jesus
