Reflections with Andy - Judges 9: 22-57 - Reaping What You Sow

We see the conclusion of what started yesterday with the parable. Abimelech reaped what he sowed. One thing that is really important for us to realize is that as Christians, we do not believe in karma. That is not a Christian concept. It says that we get what we deserve. That is not what we believe. We believe that we get grace, which is not what we deserve. We cry for mercy, not judgment. However, while we do not believe that we get what we deserve, we do believe that we reap what we sow. If we sow love and grace, we will reap those things, and if we sow hatred and malice, we will reap that as well. What are we sowing today?
