Our readings in this series are from the book, Understanding the Times. Here is a brief excerpt from page 78:
“When Jesus sows the good seed of the Kingdom, what does He expect? Little saplings of believers shivering amid the cold secularism of the age and the storms of unbelief, sheltering in the greenhouses of their churches, singing their praise songs and studying their Bibles in harmless clusters, away from the world and its woes, turning nothing upside down in the name of Jesus?
“No. Jesus is sowing the good seed of the Kingdom, for He intends that righteousness, peace, joy, and justice shall increase and advance throughout His field. As we shall see, the secular world is not a weed field, waiting to be burned; it is a wheat field to be sown, cultivated, and gloriously harvested in the Lord’s time.
“Since we are the good seed of the Kingdom, we must seek and expect – as Jesus surely does – that all the fruit and flower and force of the Kingdom will be increasingly evident in our lives, in every aspect of our lives, all our relationships, roles, and responsibilities.”
