The Sower

by The Shulammite

Overview

The World Gospel Kingdom Tracts (WGKT) is categorically intended to unlock the mystery of your human life. WGKT is explicitly designed to make known the unsearchable riches of this Wonderful Christ as the mystery of the gospel of the Kingdom of God. "The Sower" book is God's sovereign way to propagate the gospel of Christ to make known the mystery of His will and His divine purpose for man.

The Sower is the Lord Himself, the seeds are the Word of the Kingdom, and the Lord Himself is the Seed of Life in the Word. The Son of God came to sow Himself as the Seed of Life in His Word into men's hearts that He might grow in them, live in them, develop in them and be expressed from within them as the farm of God for the building up of the Church as the House of God and the Kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 3:9).

The seed sown beside the way refers to the place close to the way. It is hardened by the traffic of the way; thus, it is difficult for the seeds to penetrate it. The wayside signifies the heart that is hardened by worldly traffic and cannot open to understand, to comprehend, the Word of the Kingdom. The birds signify the evil one, Satan, who comes and snatches away the Word of the Kingdom that is sown in the hardened heart. Will you let Christ as the seed of life take root in your heart?

About the Author

The Intrinsic Significance of The Shulammite

Song of Songs is a history of love in an excellent marriage, a story of the love between the wise king Solomon, the writer of this book, and the Shulammite (Song of Songs 6:13), a girl of the countryside. As such, this book is a marvelous and vivid portrait, in poetic form, of the bridal love between Christ as the Bridegroom and His lovers as His bride (John 3:29-30; Revelation 19:7) in their mutual enjoyment in the mingling of His divine attributes with the human virtues of His lovers. Song of Songs stresses not the Body of Christ corporately but the believer in Christ individually, unveiling the progressive experience of an individual believer’s loving fellowship with Christ in four stages. The correspondence between the progression in the poem and the progression in the experience of Christ’s lovers is the intrinsic revelation of the Holy Word of the omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent God. The stages of such a progression should be landmarks to us in the course of our pursuing of Christ for His and our mutual satisfaction.

The Shulammite is the feminine form of Solomon, derived from the root meaning peace. The use of this name here indicates that at this point she has become Solomon’s duplication, counterpart, the same as Solomon in life, nature, expression, and function, as Eve was to Adam (Genesis 2:20-23). This signifies that in the maturity of Christ’s life the lover of Christ becomes the reproduction of Christ, the same as He is in life, nature, expression, and function (but not in the Godhead) to match Him for their marriage (2 Corinthians 3:18; Romans 8:29).

In the romance between the great king Solomon and the girl from the countryside, because the two did not match each other, the king became a “country man” in order to go to her village to court her, to gain her love. On the one hand, he made himself the same as the country girl; on the other hand, he made the country girl a queen. This is a type of the story of God’s romance with man. God as the Husband is divine, and the wife He desires to marry is human; the two do not match each other. To fulfill His heart’s desire God became a lowly man with humanity in incarnation.
