[00:00:00] Welcome to Faith in Focus from the Book of Mysteries by Jonathan Cahn, the Gardener. He arranged for me to meet him in one of the school's gardens of fruit, trees. I found him there wearing a large straw hat for shade and working, the soil with a farming implement. He laid down the implement, sat down on one of the garden's low stone walls and motioned for me to
[00:00:28] join. Hint, so I did. In the beginning, said the teacher, God created man in his own image. And where was man? In a garden? And what was man? He waited for a response, but I couldn't think of any. He was a gardener. God placed the man in Eden to till and keep the garden. Man was a gardener. So what would that mean? Again,
[00:00:58] I didn't know how to. Answer the question. Man, said the teacher, was created in the image of God. And man was, created specifically to be a gardener. Therefore, God is a gardener. Yes. But how? I asked. What is His garden?
[00:01:19] The creation, He said. The creation is His garden. He keeps it, tends. It sows into it His seed. He sows into the creation His word and His life, that it might bear its fruit. But the garden didn't bear its fruit. Meaning, I said, the creation never brought forth the life it was meant. To bear? Yes. So,
[00:01:49] the gardener came into the garden that the garden might bear its fruit. God came into His creation that the creation might bring forth life. Yes. And when the creation bore the first fruit of new life, when He first appeared. Outside the tomb, in what form did He appear? What was He mistaken for?
[00:02:14] A gardener? And what kind of tomb was it that bore the first fruit? A garden tomb. For God is the gardener. And we are His gardener. So let the gardener come into his garden. Let him till its soil. Sow its seed. And bring forth its new life. For every garden that is touched by the gardener will bear
[00:02:39] the fruit it was meant to bear. The mission. Today, let the gardener come into his garden. To every part of. Your life. Your life. Especially the untouched soil. That every part would bear its fruit. Genesis 1.29 Genesis 2.15 Song of Solomon 4.16 Song of Solomon 5.1
