Hebrews 10:11-18
Mark 4:1-20
BE A GOOD SOIL
Last Sunday, we celebrated the Sunday of the word of God, we are told to take the word of God more seriously.
In the gospel reading of today, Jesus explains to us that our level of disposition to the word of God and how we allow situations around us to affect us, contributes seriously to how the word of God we hear daily make meaning and grow in our lives.
Many of us hear the word of God daily, but it seems not to have any impact in our lives. There does not seem to be growth in our Christian faith journey. Some of us have closed our hearts to the gospel and have decided what to do irrespective of what the word of God says. The hearts of some people are like stone, some are like thorns and some are like grass. The word of God cannot grow and germinate in those places. This will make us not to bear fruits in our lives.
Jesus tells us in Matthew 3:8, that any tree that does not bear fruit will be cut off. May the word of God germinate and grow in our lives, so that we can bear fruits, fruits that will last. God help us. Amen.
