10/21/2024 – The Productivity of Christ
Luke 8: 15 But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.
The Lord is Victorious BECAUSE He is Productive!
We focus on the crown. The crown symbolizes victory…and we like that. We should like that. Our Lord is indeed victorious. He has overcome every enemy and circumstance, and He has achieved victory for us. He is deserving of all praise and we rejoice in His victory. But the Lord is not only victorious. He is also productive. It is possible to be victorious and not productive. It is not enough to defeat your enemies and overcome your circumstances. You have to be productive!
The way God is glorified is to be productive. Our Lord Jesus is victorious not only because He defeated sin, death and the devil. He is victorious…He wears the crown because He produced the fruit of righteousness and the fruit of the Spirit in Himself and in all those who believe in Him!
Some people are able to win, but they are not productive. God is looking for both.
Christ, our Lord, is productive. He glorifies the father and blesses us not only in victory, but in productivity. The investment He made on this earth will produce an amazing harvest to the glory of God. His work, His sacrifice, His teaching will not be in vain. If you listen and understand and believe, you will also produce a harvest for the glory of God.
