Praise to the SEED of Salvation
“’And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her seed;
He shall bruise you on the head,
And you shall bruise him on the heel.'”
Have you ever said, “Thank You, Jesus, seed of salvation“? I haven’t. But, I am now. The Bible refers to Jesus as the Seed of the Woman, the Seed of Abraham, and the Seed of David. Commentator Herbert Lockyer’s explains the following:
Christ as the Seed, holds the secret and sustenance of life. Christ as the Seed assures us that He Himself is the Source of life. But in order to produce fruit the seed has to be buried in the earth, a truth Christ applied to Himself as falling into the ground and dying in order to bring forth much fruit (John 12:24). He came as the Seed of a woman, in order that all born of man might become His children by His finished work and the regeneration ministry of the Holy Spirit (John 3:1-18).
We are born of Christ’s seed; seed that springs up into eternal life. What a praise to our Heavenly Lord!
Lord Jesus, Seed of Salvation, You are in the garden of our hearts, and Your life seed changes us. Thank You! May we nourish Your seed so Your life in us bears much fruit!
