This is how it is with the kingdom of God; it is as if a man
were to scatter seed on the land and would sleep and rise night and day and the
seed would sprout and grow, he knows not
how. (Mark 4:26-27)
Next to my desk at
work is posted a Zen proverb that offers an even more passive version of Jesus’
words: Sit quietly, doing nothing,
spring comes and the grass grows by itself.
[…] My role in kingdom building is
simply to scatter seeds.
