Christ's sowing & Reaping
A principle of the kingdom - #1
Most often we hear people speak of Karma, a Hindu and Buddhist teaching that says a person’s action in this life produce the consequences in the next life. Throughout our lives we hear people say, “What goes around comes around.” This is the philosophy of how people treat each other is the way they end up being treated. This is essentially sowing and reaping. A kernel of wheat will never produce an apple tree. Only wheat.
What we as Christians come to know is that sowing and reaping are principles of the Kingdom of God which Jesus taught as in the parable of the Sower, Mat. 13. Here Jesus initially is the Sower and then by extension us as the sons of God who sow the gospel seed as Jesus did. The results of the sowing depend on where the seed was sown, or the condition of the heart of the hearers. This in turn creates the crop results.
This is a principle that continues to this day both in extending the gospel and then in us who hear the word of God in our daily lives. and then act on it. God reaps from us fruit of our lives…. To His glory. There is more.
