Matthew 13-Part 7

LET IT GLOW

Are we wise in our own eyes, arrogant in our own knowledge?  Or do we seek the truth in childlike faith? Only God holds all the answers. We have been looking at the secrets of heaven, which Jesus revealed in parables in this chapter. First was the parable of the farmer who sowed seeds that fell upon 4 various types of ground. Next was the parable of the wheat and weeds. We learned that different hearts receive the Word of God in various ways. At the end of the age, Jesus will return to the world of wickedness and establish His kingdom on earth. His angels will gather those wicked plants of the devil and cast them into eternal fire. (verses 40-42) So the saved will be separated from the unsaved wicked-the tares or weeds.

Which are you?

LET IT GROW

Sometimes it is hard to distinguish between the good and bad. We need to be aware of false teachers and wolves that attack the flock in the church. We must be constantly on guard, attentive, and alert because we can't always tell the difference. In this mixed-up world, we need to be careful not to rush in and deal with the wrongs. Most of the time they will not change their ways. Remember, the King is coming and He will remove them. Trust Jesus to protect His people until that day.

LET IT GO

Help us follow You, Jesus, and Your Word. 

give us strength to stand for the Truth.
