When Jesus came to earth his people had for the most part completely missed him. The reality for our day is Jesus is still around, but I have to wonder when was the last time I saw Him?
This is a book that comes out today not only from my pastor, @thebanning , but it really does come straight to you from my church @JCSacramento . It comes from me in a way.
Jesus tells the parable of the sower and the seed which falls on rocky ground speaks to me today. Jesus says of this seed, "It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow." (NIV)
Now, there is one verse in this telling that says something a little more pointed for me today. Verse 5 describes Jesus' emotions toward people in this moment, and that emotion is not compassionate and buddy-Jesus-like.
