Matthew 13:30
“First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles for burning; but gather the wheat into my barn.”
---------------------------------------------------------
Today’s parable explains why good and bad people co-exist in this world. It is simply because all of us do not belong in this world. There would be wheat and weeds in our lives whether we like it or not. This is the reason why it is necessary that we trust more in the Lord as we go though life.
We live in a world that includes the good and the wicked. But like it or not, God has always made it clear - we must do the right things, by His standards, in order to achieve salvation.
But in the afterlife, not only are evildoers condemned, but “all who cause others to sin” as well. God’s gift of time is beyond measure. It is truly priceless and there will be a day when we will be asked to account for our time spent on this earth.
At the end of time, the believers in Christ will be gathered together to be brought into the storehouse, where they will experience eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven.
However, the weeds shall be separated and bound together to be thrown into the flames. These represent those who refused the invitation to repent and believe. The “barn” or the “burning”, it is your choice.
Are you a wheat or a weed? But still, please, choose to be the former!
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, we beseech You to deliver us, by Your eternal power, from all the tyranny of the infernal spirits, from their snares, their lies and their furious wickedness. Grant us Your powerful protection and to keep us safe and sound. May Your Spirit grant us a loving and merciful heart as we live in You through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen +
How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord, mighty God!
