And he said to them, How do we compare the kingdom of God, and with what parables do we represent it? It is like a mustard seed. When it is sown in the ground, it is the smallest of all the seeds on the earth, but after being sown it grows and becomes greater than all grass and gives forth great branches. enough to make nests in its shade (Mark 4:30-32).
In the springtime, of course, in rural areas, it seems that there are not many houses these days, even in urban areas, without planting a single flower seed. There seems to be an increasing number of houses, even on their apartment verandas, where they grow a small amount of vegetables for the family to eat. People do not pay much attention to the fact that when a single seed is planted in the ground, the seed's shell rots and the life-budding inside it sprouts. However, when this is not a single seed as a plant, but a single seed related to the history of life as Jesus said, there is a serious problem that cannot be lightly overlooked, saying, 'It will just be so'.
Man was born into this world as a single seed. Even among humans, the man of God exists as a single seed in these lives. This is the so-called fortress elite. Therefore, we must first become a being that can become a seed that nurtures life. It is a seed with the contents of life, which enters the ground and rots on the outside, but sprouts from the inside. No matter how many chaff seeds are planted that do not ripen properly, they only throw away the ground and waste their efforts and produce no harvest.
We are sad that this age is losing the dream of tomorrow. In fact, from a human point of view, you cannot have dreams. However, only those who have God in their hearts, those who have the seed of God's living life, and those who have the seed of faith, will live with the dream of an oasis that will come true tomorrow, even in this wasteland. We Christians are not disappointed with the dream of a new heaven and a new earth coming down from heaven to this earth. I am sure that the unrighteous will perish even on this earth, and the righteous and those of faith will gain the final victory. The dream of this seed is the kingdom of God. It is a world of justice in which God is our King and Christ reigns in his love and truth. I firmly believe that this kingdom of God will come upon this earth.
I think today you will know what day it is. You will remember that it was the revolutionary promise delivered over the radio on that day ten years ago and repeated every hour through various mass media. And today, a decade later, you know what is the most common phrase used by heated election speakers all over the country to burst your throat. Even now, as Jesus said, in order for a grain of wheat to become a seed, unless it is a well ripened seed, a seed that contains life, or a seed that contains the life of God, the truth is that it only enters into the soil of this history and rots together. makes you feel deeply. Today is not the time when the votes of 100,000 and 10 million people are important, but even for a very small minority, even if it is a small force as small as a mustard seed, the right seeds with living life should be planted in all walks of life. So I want to change the world and change this society right.
