what a good Seed

Here on the Island of Rota, in the Marianas, we celebrate Good Friday, as the day that our Lord, and Savior, Jesus Christ, died on the cross some two thousand years ago.

God, in His great mercy and kindness, planted His best Seed into the earth to give new life to His creation. This New Planting started some two thousand years ago. Its flourished amazingly through the centuries and ushers us into the kingdom of God, before God's very throne.

As a home gardener on Rota, I want the best seeds for my veggy garden. Its the good seeds that produce the best plants - just like the seeds used for eggplants and cucumbers in the garden. Every week there are so many eggplants and cukes harvested.

So, Jesus went into the ground on this day, and three days later, He germinated. About two thousand years later, He is the Vine and we are His branches.
