As A Garden

Isaiah 61:11 (ESV)

For as the earth brings forth its sprouts,

and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up,

so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise

to sprout up before all the nations.

Jesus has planted the seed of His word into the earth of man. The garden within the hearts of man that receive it will bring forth sprouts which will grow and bear the fruit of the Spirit. The nations will behold the work of the Lord that brings righteousness and praise into the world.
