Luke 8:4-15
When a large crowd gathered, with people from one town after another journeying to Jesus, he spoke in a parable. "A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path and was trampled, and the birds of the sky ate it up. Some seed fell on rocky ground, and when it grew, it withered for lack of moisture. Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it. And some seed fell on good soil, and when it grew, it produced fruit a hundredfold." After saying this, he called out, "Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear."
Then his disciples asked him what the meaning of this parable might be. He answered, "Knowledge of the mysteries of the Kingdom of God has been granted to you; but to the rest, they are made known through parables so that they may look but not see, and hear but not understand.
"This is the meaning of the parable. The seed is the word of God. Those on the path are the ones who have heard, but the Devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts that they may not believe and be saved. Those on rocky ground are the ones who, when they hear, receive the word with joy, but they have no root; they believe only for a time and fall away in time of temptation. As for the seed that fell among thorns, they are the ones who have heard, but as they go along, they are choked by the anxieties and riches and pleasures of life, and they fail to produce mature fruit. But as for the seed that fell on rich soil, they are the ones who, when they have heard the word, embrace it with a generous and good heart, and bear fruit through perseverance."
My reflection:
Pag tayo po ay nakarinig at nakatanggap ng mga salita ng Diyos, ito po ay parang isang binhi na itinanim sa ating puso. Tayo po ay makakaranas ng Iba't ibang level ng pangyayari sa ating buhay.
Meron pong iba na hindi naniwala, kaya't walang nangyari. Meron naman pong mababaw ang kanilang pananampalataya kaya't panandalian lamang ito. Yun naman pong iba ay nagbabago ang spiritual transformation na kanilang natamo kapag sila po ay nagbalik na sa mga regular na takbo ng buhay at tukso ng kapaligiran, nakakalimutan na nila ang kanilang naranasang "euphoria" kaya't balik sa dating ugali (BSDU).
Ngunit kapag ang salita ng Diyos ay tumanim sa puso ng isang taong malalim ang pananampalataya, ito po ay yayabong at mamumunga ng mga napakasarap na prutas. Prutas na galing sa ating Panginoong Hesus.
Huwag po tayong mag atubili sa paglapit sa ating panginoong Hesus, atin pong pagaralan ang kaniyang mga salita, magbasa po tayo ng mga aklat at salaysayin hinggil sa kanyang buhay upang mapagibayo natin ang ating pagiging isang matured christian. Amen!
