What the Bible says about light and seed

The True Light "In him, (the Lord Jesus) was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world,…the world didn’t recognize him." John 1:4,9.

The Good Seed and the Weeds “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seeds in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. Matthew 13:24,25.

The Beautiful Feet of the Messenger of Peace.

Written and published by Jean-Louis Mondon
 
How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of the messenger who announces peace,
who brings good news,
who announces salvation,
who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.” Isaiah 52:7


So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.  For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.  Very truly, I tell you, servants are not greater than their master, nor are messengers greater than the one who sent them.  If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them. John 13:14-17

And with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. Ephesians 6:15
 
  
 

It´s been two months now
Since you appeared at my door
You came in gently without fanfare
And simply sat on the floor

Your grateful sheepish smile
Welcomed my invitation
To let you sit down
In a corner for a while

Like a young aphonic boy
His head among the stars
Under the veiled power
Of your unveiled charm

I invited you to sit on the throne
For it is not proper to offer the guest
A corner of the rug belonging
To the devoted servant 
Of the Prince of Peace.

Then, taking a cushion
To rest your feet
Tired from the long voyage
I removed the used sandals
Full of dust covering
Their rare beauty

I took a basin and tenderly
Washed and dried them
Then, leaning to pray,
I warmed and blessed them
For these beautiful and fragile feet
Belong to the docile messenger
Proclaiming the Gospel of Peace.
