SERMON OF THE WEEK:

The Parable Of The Weeds Amongst The Wheat.

 Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43

The parable of the weeds amongst the wheat.  After Jesus has told us the parable, ten verses on we see his disciples asking him to explain the parable to them.  Which he does.

His explanation is quite straight forward really, and one that speaks of the harvesting of souls at the end of time.  I like this parable as it is very clear and very relevant.

As Christians we need to take heed of the words that are written and to mull them over, also to pray because this parable applies to each and every one of us and the way in which we choose to live our lives.

Obviously, as Jesus states the good seeds are the children of the Kingdom, Gods’ children, and the field is the world in which we live.  The weeds also inhabit  this world and grow and flourish with the rest.  We all grow together, and sometimes it would be very hard to tell apart the wheat from the weeds, the good from the bad, or not so good.  That is why it will be God with his angels who will bring in the harvest, on that final day of reckoning.
