Parable of the SEED
* Mt 13: 31-32
He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden
plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.”
When Jesus came
to the world at the time of the First Coming, he said about the heaven in
parables. At Mt 13: 31-32, Jesus told one of parables about heaven.
What is the seed
that makes up the kingdom of heaven? Jesus did not want to tell about the
physical seed. The meaning that Jesus wanted to say is the spiritual seed. The
spiritual seed is a word of the spirit (Lk 8:11).
While a lot of physical
seeds exist in this world, there are only two kinds of spiritual seeds. Because
the spiritual world divided two worlds, the spiritual seed divided two kinds of
seeds, God’s seed and Satan’s seed. God’s seed is the word of God, and Satan’s
seed is lie.
Then, why Jesus
describes the word as the seed? The reason is that the characteristics of the
physical seed are similar to the spiritual seed. Seed has life, and it is the
origin of the all living creatures. The word has the same characteristic just
like the physical seed.
If we want to be
children of God, we should be born with the God’s seed because God gave birth
to people with the word of God, the spiritual seed (Jn 3: 6).
However, the
serious problem we should remind is the existence of Satan’s seed. If we are
born with the Satan’s seed, we cannot enter the kingdom of the heaven.
Therefore, we should know the realities of Satan’s seed exactly.
“Not
everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of the heaven,
but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. – Mt 7:21
We usually claim
that we are believers, and we are the children of God. Even though we insist that
we are the children of God, we cannot be son of God if we are not born with the
God’s seed.
Therefore, we
should check out ourselves whether we are born with God’s seed or not. Then, we
can attain the right which we can enter the kingdom of heaven if we are born
with God’s seed.
Then, where is
the place that the word of Satan, Satan’s seed, sowed? Let us check out more
about it next time.
Borning with the God's seed is so important to us to be a children of God. We should have a time to check out whether we are born with God's seed or not.
