Title: God's Farming Method
Contents :
The text speaks of how God treats Jews and Gentiles, and people according to their circumstances, circumstances, and dispositions through the way a farmer does farming. Verses 23-26 show how to nurture your people by applying a method when you sow, and verses 24-28 show how you deal with or judge your people and the world through a method when you thresh.
Life education through sowing
He does not just level the field, he makes it curved.
Just as a farmer planted up and down according to various kinds of grain, God planted the most suitable place for his people to live along the curves, drowned, and allowed people to pass by. When God deals with his people, he does not always lead them smoothly.
It is planted in a suitable place according to the type in a well-chosen field.
Rule of life through threshing
Different sticks depending on the type of grain
Harvesting and shivering grain is completely different depending on the type of grain. The purpose of this is to take the wheat. Light crops are threshed with sticks and poles to keep grains from breaking, and hard grains are threshed using the horseshoes of cartwheels. This is how God made man. Peeling off the evil skin of man is the way God whips life. Sometimes according to our character, sometimes according to our level of learning, and sometimes according to our duties, He uses the most appropriate whip to take our precious grain.
The church of God is his field, and God is the farmer. Just as a farmer separates the time and place for various kinds of farming in his field, sows seeds, takes care of them, and reaps the fruits, God compares the divine wisdom in God's salvation work to agriculture so that people can understand it.
