This Sunday's Inspirational Message is: Two Kinds Of Seed Last week, we sat together in Matthew chapter thirteen and looked at the Parable of the Sower, the story Jesus told about a farmer scattering seed on four different kinds of soil. Today, we're staying right there in Matthew thirteen, but we're moving on to another parable. And this time, we get something special. We get to listen in as Jesus sits down privately with His disciples and explains, piece by piece, exactly what one of His parables means. This is the Parable of the Weeds, sometimes called the Parable of the Tares, and in today's passage, Matthew 13:36 through 43, Jesus breaks it wide open for us. He tells us who the farmer is, who the good seed is, who the weeds are, who the enemy is, and what is going to happen at the end of it all. Honestly, there are not many places in Scripture where Jesus hands us this much detail so plainly, so we want to slow down and take it seriously. Here is what you can expect today. We are going to look at three things: the explanation Jesus gives, the judgment Jesus promises, and the glory Jesus guarantees for His people. By the end, my hope is that you will walk away with a settled confidence, that God sees clearly what we cannot, that He is patient for good reason, and that the harvest is coming. * * * * * Once again, thanks for joining us in our time of worshiping the Lord through His Word!
