The Seed
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no
law.”
(Galatians 5:22-23)
Today’s Morsel: God created
the fruit tree on the third day, “And God said,
Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit
tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the
earth: and it was so.”
(Genesis 1:11) Notice, the seed was in the
fruit and the fruit was in the seed. And it was to yield fruit after his
kind. In the parable of the sower, Jesus said the seed was the word of
God. John wrote, “In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God … And
the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the
glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” (John 1:1,14)”
Notice, the seed is Jesus. If we are not producing fruit after Him, (His
Spirit) then we must ask ourselves what seed is in us, as no tree can produce
two kinds of fruit.
Sing: To be like Jesus, to be like
Jesus, on earth I long to be like Him. All through life’s journey from
earth to glory, I only ask to be like Him.
Thought for today: “No tree can produce
two kinds of fruit” (Parker)
