The readings from Matthew: 13: 1 - 11
Matthew 13 New International Version (NIV)
The Parable of the Sower
13 That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake.2 Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore. 3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. 9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.”
10 The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”
11 He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12 Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables:
“Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
The words: the seeds of the Kingdom of God fell on:
1. Path - eaten by the birds
2. Among rocky ground - the seeds germinated but withered
under the heat of the sun because it has no roots
3. Thorns - the seeds grew but soon was overwhelmed by thorns
4. Good soil - the seeds germinated and yielded crops that are 30,60, and even a hundred fold.
The Lord God created man with free will to choose what is taught him. God can not force man to just obey and follow His teachings. We have a choice. This is a great effort by evangelists and missionaries: to look at the dual nature of man: being spirit and flesh; being angel and devil.
2. Relevance to our previous learning:
1. To communication and learning
What happens to our blogs, emails, ppt being sent: do they fall by the pathwalk, land on the
rocky ground, or among thorns?
What happens to the rest of our communications? Do people focus, pay attention, reverence to what we are disseminating, sowing amongst them?
This is the reason why we bill them for ppt. People dismiss valueless communications as useless. They might pay attention and give importance to paid communications.
2. So what/who are you among the four types of ground? Are you a ME or a WE person?
3. There is possible karma amongst us. What we sow we reap. If we are barren or rocky ground, then people around us are most likely to be the same.
Law of physics: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
3. Application to our job:
We cant force every one to obey to comply; or follow the 3fold duties of everyone, or the ABCD
doctrine. The changes can only come from within: internal. Choose which ground are you to be.
If you are working for someone, the minimum for you is to obey and internalize (let the teachings grow ) from within.
What do we call persons who expect something to change but still remains the same? We expect
every one to change expect us. We call them insane....
How to be a no limit person:
There are many parables in the bible, but for me I consider this as one of the most soul feeding lesson because it talks about we as an individual who is given the knowledge and free will to choose what is right. God knows we have a lot to learn and that we may not understand everything but God wants us to make the effort to learn more about him. He will give us the knowledge and understanding if we seek on him.
ReplyDeleteRelating it in our daily duties and responsibilities, we are given the understanding but its up to us on how we develop our knowledge, skills as well as our attitude to meet our goals in our company. What we learned must be practiced and develop so that we may be a better person. This is one motivational lesson I have learned from this parable.
Thank You Sir for This,

This parable can teach us about ourselves. God will *bless those people who trust him. We learn from this parable the same truths as we learn from the *beatitudes. When we know that we need Jesus, we should trust him. When we really trust him, he will teach to us. We will change, because Jesus will change us.
ReplyDeleteBut ask yourself this question: what kind of soil are you like?

During our A.M. talk, Sir Jorge said "There is no faith unless there is acceptance." All of us should be like a good soil. To be a good soil means accepting what's given to you, and retaining and nurturing it to grow more. Just like in every A.M. talk, we learn new things. We must retain it in our heart and mind, and nurture it by not just brushing it off and by passing that knowledge to others. We shouldn't be selfish. We must help each other to achieve our goals and objectives. Just like what's posted in here, "The changes can only come from within." But how can we change if we don’t do something? We must remember Newton's first law - "every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force." We can achieve nothing if we don’t do something. We must improve every day and change our bad attitudes and habits. We should learn more and more about our jobs so that we can work effectively and efficiently.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sir for this very inspirational A.M. talk.
