“Behold, the lowly tomato, token of God’s goodness, sign of his love and favor!” And thus our kids were introduced verbally to this dazzling, created order.
They were introduced much earlier with catechism questions:
Q. Who made you?
A. God made me.
Q. What else did God make?
A. God made all things.
Q. Why did God make you and all things?
A. For his own glory.
But, “Behold, the lowly tomato” was tangible, it was red, and juicy and sweet. And I hope they’ll always remember the tomato, token of God’s love and goodness.
Dave,
Love the parable! Very interesting & thought provoking. I enjoy looking at your blog (by the way I think you are a blogger who happens to be a pastor). Thanks for putting yourself out there!
Well, thank you, Beth. You are the first person to leave a comment!
