Jesus Christ The Sower
Saint Theophilus the Confessor, Archbishop of Bulgaria, teaches:
“He came out of the bosom of the Father, from invisibility, and became visible. He who always sows came out. Because the Son of God does not stop always sowing in our souls. The Lord sows through preachers who proclaim the truth, not their own, but inspired by the Spirit of Truths, sowing the seeds of the saving teaching of Christ. The apostles sent by the savior to preach went all over the world announcing the Gospel of the Kingdom to all creation. They did not announce their own teaching, but announced to everyone the Divine teaching, announced to them by the Lord Himself, who guided them to all truth, making them mystics. The work of the preaching of Christ’s apostles was continued by the holy martyrs and confessors, who glorified the crucified and risen Christ not only with their prayers, but also with their pious deeds. Their banner was taken up by the saints of Christ, the holy fathers and teachers of the Church… the holy and the righteous, each sowing seeds in his [or her] own field The gracious word of God.”
