Matthew 28:19 reads, Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
The story is told of a farmer who went out to plant his fields. He was approached by a young boy. Inquisitive, the boy asked the farmer about the seed that fell to the ground. He asked, “What will this become?“ The farmer smiled gently and said softly to the boy, “Within this one seed is a harvest that is plentiful for many. As this seed grows and as we tend to the weeds that will also grow we can feed not just one person but many.”
Similarly, our lives, reap a harvest that will not only produce another seed but a rich harvest as we tend to the weeds and cultivation of the soil in our spiritual lives. We have heard it said that you reap what you sow. That is not only true in our own lives but in the lives of others.
The scripture compels us to go and tell others. It is in those efforts that we are planting seeds that will grow a harvest for God’s glory. It is in our investment and care for others that people come to faith through Jesus Christ.
Who is one person that you can prayerfully invest
in, telling them about your faith in Christ? Take just a moment now to pray and
then plan to cultivate, toil, plant, and reap a harvest for God’s Glory.
