GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 13:18-23
The word is the seed. The word is received by different people differently but the word is the same. The word does not change according to people and culture and situation. The word is unchangeable and it is productive and it is productive in so far as the reception of it.
There are those who receive the word of God but without understanding it (if there is not understanding then the word itself is lost); there are some who receive the word and probably understand but do not like to take risks for the sake of the word (tribulation and persecution); there are others who receive the word and probably understand it but they are anxious about other things and not anxious about the word (anxiety of worldly things and care for wealth); there are few who listen to the word, understand it, take risk for the sake of the word, anxious only about the word and possess only the word and they are the ones who produce much harvest.
