~~~ Jeremiah 14:17:22~~~ Psalm 79 ~~~ Matthew 13: 36-43 ~~~
"...Why have you struck us a blow
that cannot be healed?
We wait for peace, to no avail;
for a time of healing, but terror comes instead."
The advantage of being close to someone you admire is that you can take
them aside and ask questions. This is what the disciples do with Jesus;
they take him aside and ask him to explain the parable he just taught.
The disciples were confused wondering if there would ever be peace.
They had questions about weeds.
Have you ever wondered if you could be one of the weeds?

Jesus explains that he is the one
that sows the seed into the field of the earth.
If he sows the good seeds.
Where does the Evil One get his seeds?
The devil is allowed to sow the seeds of the weeds freely.
Have you ever wondered why no one prevents the devil from sowing his seeds.
Recently I have been asking myself the same question;
who can stop the Evil One from sowing his seeds of hatred.
Surely any seeds which do not emerge in the form of love have not come from God.

God says we must patiently wait until he sends his angels to gather up the harvest.
At this time
"The Son of Man will send his angels,
and they will collect out of his Kingdom
all who cause others to sin and all evildoers.
They will throw them into the fiery furnace,
where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth."

Jesus issues strong words here about what will happen to those who cause others to sin.
What if you do not realize that you have caused another to sin?
What if it was not your intention?
I firmly believe that if you have come from the hand of the Evil One then your
intentions to harm others will be evident.
I pray to be spared from ever coming in contact with one whose
desire is drag others into sin with them.
This sheds a whole new light onto the saying misery loves company.
Jesus goes on to say...
"Then the righteous will shine like the sun
in the Kingdom of their Father."
in the Kingdom of their Father."
If you listen and hear the words of the Lord then
you shall become part of the light of Christ.
At the end of the age we will be gathered up by the angels and carried
to the Lord where we will be cherished for all eternity.
Let your hearts not be troubled by the seeds of the Evil One,
for in the end all that is good will prevail.
