"A farmer went out to sow his seed." ~~Jesus

[caption id="" align="alignright" width="300"]English: Farmer Farmer (Photo credit: Wikipedia)[/caption]

Jesus challenges us to understand GOD's word. GOD is the farmer. It is GOD who plants the seed, His word.

This has nothing to do with us. It is all GOD's doing. We like think we are the center of things. Even the disciples of Jesus didn't get what Jesus was saying and they were with Him all day long for 3 years. It all starts with GOD and His word. That is the most important thing to understand. It is all about GOD and what He says / wants.

"My mother and brothers are the ones who hear and do God's Word. Obedience is thicker than blood." ~~Jesus

Jesus challenges us to see the reality of GOD's World (Kingdom). Who is our family? Who are our mother's, brothers and sisters? What is family all about?

What is that reality? Obedience is the only thing that matters. Who is obeying GOD? They are our family. We need to be loyal to them. We need to love them.

Jesus throws conventional wisdom on its ear. Blood is not the thicker than water.

It is all about who is doing what GOD wants to have done today. Find them. Connect with them.
