be comes worse when it is hidden in the heart of a watching man v 2 one who looks for his opportunity to strike the scene is a most dramatic one jesus came into the synagogue on the sabbath day as was his cus torn bv the way is it your cus torn to go to church on sunday in that snieorue was a mm with a withered hand here occurs one of ihclst ineidmtil things which are so full of beautyjn these narratives st e kit l to find accusation against him his enemies nevertheless all nconsciously piid him a supreme omphment the associated him mmtritatel not with the chief seal j f the synagogue but with the most needy man in the crowd the watched him v 2 the iir was full of silent malicious cun ning hatred jesus faced them with in ilternative so high so holy ind txaeting that they dared not speak he pointed out that we either do jo d or harm heal or kill by our response to a human need it cm not be ignored what would they do with if keep their strict man made regulations or honor god by helping a needy one on the sabbath they dared not answer then he heated the man hedid not touch him he did not do snv work except a miraculous healing but it was epough the herodians ind the pharisees who hated each jther jujyy became friends because they both hated jesus what an awful picture of what may be in the human heart even in the lord s house on the day of wor ship what was in your hear when you last went into the church love and s desire for the good of your neighbor or hatred and malice here again our lord declared the dignity of man in the plan of god and placed bis need above the keep ing of a day we are too little in terested m the help we can give and too feawul of the criticism of others inference in the amount of fruit why not be a hundredfold be liever changing the picture a little our lord now speaks of n normal growth and a good harvest 4 2629 this parable found only in mark has a lesson for the sower he is not to expect the harvest immedi ately after the time of sowing there is a period of pa waiting while god is producing the growth and only he can do itl then the joy of harvest there are many lessons to learn here we who serve the lord in teaching or preaching the word are too impatient too eager to be able to announce results god is always willing that things should mature naturally and in due season let 1 us wait for him and be at rest in our spirits v 27 then let us be glad as the seed begins to show signs of maturing but let us not be slow to gather uie harvest when it is ready some forget to gather the spiritual fruit of their labors possibly having long since lost patience and interest v we should also be encouraged by this parable to continue sowing the seed l it will find place in the hearts of some and bring forth fruit unto eternal life next we are warned to be on our guard against accepting or approv ing iii abnormal growth and an evil harvest 4 3032 the mustard is an herb not a tree hence this parable gave warn ing that there would be an over grown religious system calling itself christian the birds are as in the- parable of the kinds of soil evil men or isms or organizations eager to take shelter in a religious system without spiritual power the church had such an abnormal growth when constantine espoused christianity as a political moe mixed it with paganism and ele vated it to a position of worldly power all this was and still la contrary to god s plan for the church he wanted a spiritual body distinguished by lowliness metfenssa and service these are the ihjngi that mark the j true christian spirit the marks of true christianity are always thoi of hksrts to hhn who said i t maakandlowb tnbaart wtec not to b nunistercd onto but
