"That's My King!" Who's The Supreme Sower, Seed, And Soil Simultaneously!


He's the supreme Sower, Seed, and Soil all at the same time!
He's the Sower who sows better and broader, longer and more lavishly, deeper and with more delight, and more effectively and everlastingly than any sower who's ever lived!
He's the Sower of sowers!
He's the only Sower Who can make the seed from nothing, plant the seed in the most fallow ground, and make it grow to produce the most amazing harvest just as He pleases!
He can make the hardest of soil soft; keep all the birds away from His seed; make the rockiest of soils harvestable; kill every thorn; and make all soil good for His own glory!
He penetrates the hardest of hearts!
He destroys all the works of the Devil!
He plants joyful roots that last forever in the face of all manner of tribulations and persecutions so that no one ever falls away!
He conquers every worldly care by carrying them on His own back so that you don't have to!
He's more precious than all the riches of 10 trillion universes!
He's the Desire of all desires and better than them all combined!
He always gets the exact harvest He wants from all His sowing efforts!
He forever, always, and only sows what is good, true, right, helpful, loving, wise, and life changing!
He sows true light into the hearts of men and women, boys and girls!
He sows joy into the heart that never goes away or diminishes but only grows more and more intense throughout all eternity!
He sows to sinners of all stripes, shapes, and sizes and to sinners of all degrees of deadness and despicableness!
And if they repent and believe in Him they shall all be saved!
He sows more bountifully than the most bountiful of the bounty!
He has a hand in the sowing of every faithful sower who's ever lived!
He sowed to the Spirit in perfect righteousness so that we might sow His Word in His name – the name above all names!
He sowed righteousness, reaped mercy, sought the LORD, and rained righteousness upon all those who would ever turn from their sin and trust in Him!
He sowed in tears like great drops of blood in His wrath bearing death, but He reaps in even greater shouts of joy over the innumerable harvest of saved souls through His resurrection from the dead!

That's My King!  Do you know Him?!

He's the Seed Who can plant Himself, fertilize Himself, water Himself, shine light on Himself, grow Himself, and bloom, flourish, and harvest Himself all by Himself!
He's the self-sufficient Seed of the universe!
He doesn't need you or me to plant Him or to do anything for Him!
But He loves us, so He uses us to spread His matchless fame and glory all around the world!
He IS the Seed of seeds!
He's the Seed of the woman Who crushed the head of the serpent!
He's the primary, predominant, prevailing Seed of Abraham through Whom all of God's promises are yes and amen!
He Himself is the Seed He sows so that if anyone hears His voice and believes in Him they shall be saved!
He's the Word made flesh Who dwelt among us Who alone can save us from God's wrath to come!
Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God sowed the seed to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has sowed the seed by his Son, whom He appointed the heir of all things, through whom also He created the world!
Though heaven and earth will pass away, His Seed will never pass away!
He's the preeminent grain of wheat that died and was buried in the earth for three days, but then was raised up from the grave with power in order to bear much everlasting fruit!

That's my King!

He's the Good Soil Who always heard the Word of God, always trusted the Word of God, always loved the Word of God, always obeyed the Word of God, always delighted in the Word of God Who Himself is the Word of God!
He defeated the Devil when the Devil tried to snatch up the Good Seed away from Him and use it against Him!
He never let His heart become hard but was always quick to receive the pure milk of the Word!
The Word took deep root in His heart, and He stored in up in His heart, mind, and soul so that He would never sin against God in the smallest degree!
The cares of this world never distracted Him from fulfilling His God-given mission!
The deceitfulness of riches never deceived Him because He IS the riches of this universe all in one Man!
He never desired any other thing besides perfectly doing the will of His Heavenly Father!
On the cross He was made sin, though He knew no sin, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him!
He was made hardness of heart toward God and crushed on that cross so that you could be forgiven of all your hardness of heart and receive a soft heart that trusts, loves, and lives for God!
His root with the Father was cut off, and His supreme joy in the Father's presence was abolished on the cross so that you would never be severed from the Father but enjoy fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore in His presence for all eternity!
He was made the cares of this world and crushed on the cross so that you could be forgiven for caring more about this world than about God!
He was made the wicked love of money on that cross so that you could be forgiven for loving money more than God!
He was made the evil desires for other things on that cross so that you could be forgiven for desiring toys, treats, sex, songs, spouses, power, pleasure and anything else that you might desire more than God Himself!
He died and spent three days and three nights in the heart of the soil but was raised up from the dead to never die again!
He bore so much fruit that if it were all written about, I suppose the world itself could not contain the books that would be written!
One day He will renew this earth with all its soil and bring into reality the new heavens and the new earth where there will be no more sin, no more pain, no more death, and no more tears!

That's my King!  That's my King!
