Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Jesus in the Cornfield: Sermons for Harvest and Flower Festivals
This incident appears at first sight to be hardly worthy of note. The Prophet of Nazareth would naturally walk through cornfields, in a country where highways were rare and byways common. Yet no fewer than three Evangelists mention it, although only one recalls His most stupendous miracle - the raising of Lazarus from the dead. How are we to account for this? Probably the reason lies in the fact that our Lord's teachings, associated with the corn that day, were so full of inspiration that the disciples could never forget their walk with Him. Apart from the discussion with the Pharisees which followed, He doubtless drew lessons, according to his custom, from the corn through which He strolled with His friends around Him. And the nature of His teaching we may fairly conjecture from His recorded utterances on similar occasions. The association of the Sabbath with the corn in every harvest festival is suggestive as well as appropriate. Both bear witness to heavenly influences sent down on responsive soil.
