Seeds, fruits, and harvests fill the language. A prophet sows the seed, and in prepared soil, it grows to yield fruit thirty, sixty, or a hundredfold. This is success.\r\nConsider this saying:\r\n\u201cLet there be among you one who understands. When the crop ripened, he came quickly with a sickle and harvested it.\u201d\r\nAmong you, one who grasps the truth, when the time is ripe, takes up the sickle and reaps the harvest. \r\nFor Christians, salvation is the greatest concern. A saved person is one whose mind ripens, whose seed bears the ultimate fruit. Jesus also taught, \u201cBlessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.\u201d Why? Because they come to know the Father.\r\n\u201cBlessed are those persecuted in their hearts: they truly know the Father.\u201d\r\nFor those whose hearts are emptied, a new seed is sown in the field of their heart. Nourish that seed with faith, tend it consistently, and it will grow. We often compare Jesus to a revolutionary. Self-discovery is like a revolution. \r\nA revolution happens when thoughts ripen. It means abandoning one thing to build another. An unripe revolution brings pain. Only when the fruit is ready can it be picked and savored. Time, place, and conditions are the keys to our happiness.\r\nHiding potential obstacles\u2014those things that cannot be found anywhere\u2014prevents real conflicts and disputes. \u201cKeep watch so plunderers cannot find you.\u201d This is how we wisely seek inner happiness.\r\nIn another parable, the \u201cwise sower\u201d is one who skillfully separates wheat from weeds\u2014a sage who acts with discernment.\r\nBe as cunning as a snake, as innocent as a dove!\r\n2. Follow the Mysterious Language! (Logia Studies, Part 2)  \u3161\r\nLogia refers to the lost sayings of Jesus. In the Gospel of Thomas, these sayings often clash with human society\u2019s divisions and religious contradictions. Let\u2019s trace their meaning.\r\nFirst, on distinction and selection:\r\nThe Gospel of Thomas, chapters 8 and 107, speaks clearly. Chapter 8 tells of a fisherman:\r\n\u201cThe kingdom is like a wise fisherman who cast his net into the sea and pulled it up full of small fish. Among them, he found one fine, large fish. \r\nHe threw all the small fish back into the sea and chose the large one. Whoever has ears, let them hear!\u201d  \r\nIn chapter 107, a shepherd with a hundred sheep loses the largest one. He leaves the ninety-nine to search for it, and when he finds it, he says, \u201cI love you more than the ninety-nine.\u201d  \r\nThis is confirmed in chapter 23:\r\n\u201cJesus said, \u2018I will choose one from a thousand, two from ten thousand, and they will stand as one.\u2019\u201d  \r\nJesus\u2019 words don\u2019t follow human logic. In His kingdom, the math is different. To choose one great sheep, He might abandon ninety-nine. It\u2019s like a potter smashing lesser works to keep a single masterpiece, or a fisherman tossing back countless small fish to keep the prize. This is like the Olympic gold medal\u2014worth more than nine silvers, it ranks a nation higher.Second, on peace versus conflict:Chapter 16 delivers a stark message:\u201cJesus said, \u2018People may think I came to bring peace to the world. They do not know I came to bring conflict to the earth: fire, sword, and war.\u2019\u201d  I ponder what lies behind these words. Jesus\u2019 holy and merciful words are seeds. We must understand and nurture them to build a beautiful world, playing the keys of this world\u2019s score to honor His will.",
