Growing season is in full swing in most of the country. And while my uncle in the Florida panhandle will regale us northerners with enticing stories of picking fresh tomatoes for the past two months, most gardeners are only now seeing the earliest fruits of their labors come to pass: spinach, asparagus, and lettuce. Spinach and lettuce tolerate the cool weather of spring, but a good bed of asparagus takes years to develop. Patience is re- warded with a harvest of crunchy stalks whose flavor surpasses that of any store-bought produce. Aside from corn, beans, and peas-vegetables whose seeds we actually eat-most seeds are tiny specks that belie the immense growth that is contained in their potential. It is no wonder then that Jesus would use the image of a sprouting seed to describe the kingdom of God. After his death and resurrection, a few followers began spreading the good news about this man who offered salvation. The message sprouted in small communities around the Mediter- ranean and those adherents to the Way soon began to attract others. Even in the midst of bitter persecution the followers of Christ would refuse to aban- don their faith. Like a stubborn, persistent plant, the believers refused to give up. The kingdom would continue to grow. Even though the message of Jesus is two thousand years old, the kingdom of God still has a lot of room for growth. Like any plant, it needs to be nurtured, watered, and fertilized. That is our work as men and women who believe in Christ. We have to act on the teachings of Jesus in our lives 2640 STONEY RIDGE ROAD AVON, OHIO 44011
