There Are Those Who Will Gladly Hear

    The historical figure called Jesus addresses two (2) additional reason why men do not live true to the spiritual word they receive in their lives.

In the story about the sower Jesus shares there will be those who hear he word gladly when it is shared with them. (Mark 4:16-17).

    It is difficult to know if this second group was seeking God in their lives.  The one thing that is clear is that the sower shared the word about a relationship with God with them.  If we are to follow the example of this historical figure named Jesus there must be times when we play the role of the sower and encourage men to seek God. This is indeed the art of leadership at its very highest...to encourage men to seek to become their very best.

   The story of the sower sheds light on the impact of encouraging men to have a personal relationship with God.  It is hard to reconcile the idea that Jesus was merely a good man when virtually every story and event he shares discusses how men ought to relate to God.  Sheer logic compels the conclusion that Jesus was more than a good man.
