Tares vs good seed - Matthew 13:24-30 (part 2)

Good morning all! God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!
   For several days now I have been sharing about faith brings about good deeds or works.  Allow me to extend this a tadbit further.  If Jesus is truly in your heart you will want to do good deeds for others. It will not bring strife, but jubilation in your soul, your heart, to assist others.  We should, and need to build relationships with others.
     Matthew 13:24-30  Jesus interprets this in verses 36-43.  The field is the world, not the church.  The sower of the good seed is the Son of man, or Jesus Christ, who will also be the final Judge who evaluates the fruit.
    The gospel is to be sown where lost people are and where converts need to be made in the world.  Jesus, as Lord of the harvest, directs this sowing process.  The children of the kingdom are saved believers of the church, who are Christ's true followers.  The harvest is the end of the world and the reapers are angels who play a decisive role in the final judgment.
    The fire represents hell, or the lake of fire, the destination of all unbelievers and false prophets who deny Christ.  The righteous shall enjoy the eternal kingdom of their Father (GOD)!
   How often do we tout the first part of  Romans 6:23   "for the wages of sin is death" yet we forget the latter part of this verse: "but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."  Why do we do this?  Do we think we can scare the "hell" out of someone and they will turn to Christ - eternal life.  If you wish to quote this verse, why not quote that "the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ?"
    Do you gather bees with honey or vinegar?  Oh, gasp, step back - hmmm - now that is food for thought.  Quite Bible thumping - start walking the walk of Jesus.  More will see, more will come. When Jesus walked the earth, at the beginning of his ministry, some of his disciples would tell others "come and see."  This is what we want to convey to the world - "COME AND SEE!"
   In Christ's Love and Grace
