Our God is “The Holy One”, “Qadosh.” He is worthy to be worshipped and praised. All honor should go to Him. He is the prefect, righteous creator of this earth, of everything in it, of the universe and everything in it. Our devotion should be completely to Him. And He sent His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ, the Holy One, God the Son, who is perfect and sinless, to pay the price for our sins and die in our place, so that if we accept that gift and surrender to Him we may live and have eternal life with Him. What an awesome God we serve!

Other places we have been have lush green plants because they have that dark organic soil full of nutrients. How we hear and understand (and accept or not) God’s word is kind of like that, as Jesus explains in this parable.

Jesus reveals Himself throughout the Bible…even in the Old Testament. The Old Testament points us to Christ. Throughout the OT, God shows that we are sinners. He also shows that He loves us and provides a sacrifice for our sins, a way to eternal life. He shows us that He desires our heart. He is a God of mercy and love. The covenant He made with Abraham goes far beyond His Chosen People, the Israelites. He will bless all the nations through His Son, who would be the Lamb of sacrifice for us.
