Four Gardens

Jesus said that His father is a gardener.
John 15/1 1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.”
In the Bible we can see few gardens of which God as the gardener.

Garden#1 Garden of Good Conscience
The first Garden we see in the Bible is the garden of Eden.
God put Adam and Eve in the garden and gave them all authorities.
But the enemy of God deceived them and they lost their paradise.
In the first garden man disobeyed God.It is the garden of disobedience.

Garden #2 Garden of the Law
We can see God call Israelites a garden through prophet Isaiah.
Isaiah 5 /1,2
“ I will sing for the one I love
a song about his vineyard:
My loved one had a vineyard
on a fertile hillside.
He dug it up and cleared it of stones
and planted it with the choicest vines.
He built a watchtower in it
and cut out a winepress as well.
Then he looked for a crop of good grapes,
but it yielded only bad fruit”
Old Testament Israel was a garden.There was a very good fence of the Law.
But the law could not protect the garden and it failed to yield fruits for the master.

Jesus clearly says that His father continuously searching for the fruits.
Luke 20/9
“He went on to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it to some farmers and went away for a long time. 10 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants so they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard”
Old Testament Israel could not bring any fruit before God.
Luke 13/6
“ Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any.”
Here again Jesus portrays His father as a gardener.

Garden#3 Garden Of Obedience
In the garden of Gethsamene Jesus chose to obey His father
Mathew 26 /42
“He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. “

Garden#4 Garden of Grace
This is the fourth and last garden of God.It is eternal.
Church is His garden.Solomon could forsee the beauty and fruitfulness of this garden
Songs 4/16
“Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.”
This garden is eternal and we can see this garden in the New Jerusalem also
Revelation 22/2
“In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.”
Dear fellow believer
We are His garden.1Corinthians3/16 we are God’s field.
He expect us to bear fruits for Him.
John15/16
“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. “

Let us bear fruits for Him.
