The Christian faith is not so complicated or sophisticated.
There is a moral code, or the code of conduct for a Christian.
That is expressed in the 10 Commandments, which we heard about in the 1st reading.
So essentially, it can be said that to be a good Christian, we just have to keep the 10 Commandments.
Each Commandment is like a seed that will bear good fruit in our lives when we understand what it means for us.
And just like seeds that will germinate and grow healthily when we nurture them, the 10 Commandments help us to grow and live well.
But more than that, we must remember who the Sower is.
It is God who sows good seeds into our hearts so that we will grow to become a good person and a good Christian.
The 10 Commandments help us to understand the divine nature of God and to enter into a relationship with Him.
So, more than just keeping the letter of the Commandments, we embrace the spirit of the Commandments.
In doing so we embrace the divine nature of God and we will want to be like God.
And just as God sowed good seeds into our hearts, we in turn will want to reflect the goodness of God and sow seeds of holiness so that others will want to know who God is.
