But these have\n no root; they believe for a while, and in time of\n testing fall away.'' (ESV)\n\n This week we are looking at the Parable of the Sower.\n ``And some fell on the rock, and as it grew up, it\n withered away, because it had no moisture. ... And the\n ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the\n word, receive it with joy. But these have no root; they\n believe for a while, and in time of testing fall\n away.''\n\n\n Our own desires also get in the way of the Word of God.\n Often people begin to come to faith looking for the benefits and\n supposed blessings which come from loving God. They look for the\n final victory over sin and death, not when Jesus comes again to\n judge the living and the dead, but today. They don't realize\n that the victory is won, but the celebration and the blessings of\n that victory are still in the future.\n\n When the normal problems of life happen, these self-serving\n Christians get angry at God for not protecting them from all harm\n and danger. Didn't King David write, ``Even though I walk\n through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil,\n for you are with me, your rod and your staff they comfort\n me.''[1]\n\n Our hope in this life comes from knowing that Jesus Christ\n overcame sin, death, and the power of the devil. He walked the\n road before us, He is with us always through the Word and\n Sacraments. He promises us the joys of heaven, eternal life\n because He paid the price of our rebellious sin.\n\n May our Lord grant us faith which holds to His promises,\n trusting in Him even during the difficulties we face each day.\n Amen.\n ____________________\n\n 1.
