Ruth 1- 4 Luke 8:1-25 • Key Verse: Luke 8:8
What if you could be guaranteed that you would never lose money on any of your investments?
You would jump at that opportunity! No losses, only gains.
If you find that deal, let me know. Until then, let me give you this tip. There is an investment
opportunity that yields only gains, but it has nothing to do with money. Instead, it has everything
to do with eternity.
In the parable of the sower, Jesus tells of a farmer who sowed seed. Some was lost, but “other
seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown” (v.
8).
When you “sow” the seed of the Word of God, some seed will not take root, but other seed will.
Some, in a sense, will be lost. But this is an instance where your “losses” don’t count against
you. Your gains, though, are to your credit.
Still, the fact remains that if you do not sow, neither will happen. Jesus wants you to spread the
Word, trusting Him for the results.
Where can you “sow” today? Is there a friend or acquaintance whom you should tell about
Jesus?
