8 Aug 2014; Mat 13
Mat 13 is on the parable of the sower. The well know parable that Jesus told the crowd as well as the disciple (His target audience), and to this parable Jesus also explained.
The crowd is made up mainly of farmers and fisherman. They understood the meaning of sowing and reaping. They knew the effort versus the intended return. Yet they knew too that it was not always the return from the field.
In the same way, we (the laborers, the worker, the farmers), are to sow. Sow the seed of the gospel. We do did at the best to reap the return, but the results at times are beyond our control.
We are called to sow the seed for the kingdom of God. What is this kingdom of God?
The kingdom of God is like the pearls and the great treasure - something that once it was found - we give all time, talents and other treasures in exchange of this great pearls.
If we know that we have found these great treasures, that joy is for us to share.
