Gardens and Gardeners

Wednesday. 1 Pet. 2: 1-5; 2 Pet. 3: 14-18.

The Bible is a garden book. There’s one at the beginning, a better one at the end, and the Gethsemane garden in between. Everyman should be a gardener, and his Kfe the garden. There’s sowing and sunshine, dewfall and rain, and special watering in dry spells. Then there’s weeding, watching for hurtful insects, and pruning, a cutting back to get better fruit. Lefs he good gardeners, with the Man of Gethsemane to help.
