Matthew 13- Kingdom of God

2 Replies

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. Matthew 13:44-46

Again we see Jesus using more parables to try and describe the Kingdom of God, he relates it to someone finding treasure in a field, and then buying that entire field because they were so overjoyed with what they discovered. This begs to question today, do people really value eternal life? When you talk to most people, they have no interest in spiritual things, all they care about are the worldly things of this present life.

This is the point I think Jesus is trying to make, why did you become saved? Why do you want to be a Christian? I don’t think the majority of people, including Christians, understand the ramifications of their salvation. In today’s Christianity, we have watered down the concept of Hell so much that in many people’s view it doesn’t even exist. Why would people fear death when there are no consequences for their sin? 

Liberal theology is leading millions to Hell , if people understood the true consequences of their sin, then they would be rejoicing when they understand Jesus saved their soul. They would be like the man who found treasure and was “all in” because he understood the value of his salvation. Jesus never said your going take a peaceful nap when you die, no Christ said there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth for the unsaved

Again the next example is of a man who found a pearl that was so valuable , he sold everything he had to keep it. This is talking about the value of your salvation, do you genuinely care about your eternal soul? Most people these days don’t even believe in the concept of a soul, they don’t believe in an afterlife, many don’t even believe in God, this is why the majority of the world is totally deceived and headed for Hell

The Apostle Paul said “The natural man doesn’t understand things from the Spirit of God” (1 Corinthians 2:14) This is why people need to become Born Again to enter the Kingdom of Heaven (John 3:3) Without Christ the world is lost , with no hope and no discernment, but they can be saved and they Repent and Obey Christ, Amen!

Matthew 13- The Parable of The Tares Explained

6 Replies

Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. Matthew 13:36-43

Here Jesus actually explains his own commentary on the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares, the disciples had no idea what Christ was talking about. Jesus begins identifying himself (Son of Man) as the sower. The field is the world, the good seed are those who are Born Again in Christ, the tares (weeds) are the unsaved (Children of Satan), the enemy is Satan and the harvest is the end of the world or judgment day, and the reapers are the angels of God

Now that Jesus had made this teaching very clear, there are only two paths in life, Children of God or Children of Satan. Again as I talked about previously, you can only be a Child of God if you become Born Again through Jesus Christ. Everybody is not automatically a Child of God, we are all made in the image of God, but unless you are Born Again you are dead in your sin, and your father is Satan

The world is a battlefield, there is a war for your soul, Christ is spreading the seed (The Gospel) to lead people to Christ, but the Enemy (Satan) is fighting hard to deceive people, to discredit the Word of God, to take away the Word of God from the hearts of people. Jesus came to bring eternal life, while Satan is prowling like a roaring lion looking to devour people (1 Peter 5:8) 

The harvest is the end of the world, judgment day, when Christ returns time is up! The Son of Man will send forth his angels and gather all the tares (weeds) the unsaved, from the world and cast them into Hell (Furnace of Fire). Those who say the Bible doesn’t teach about Hell would have a hard time explaining this teaching by Christ. Jesus said “And they shall be cast in the a furnace of fire, there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth” This isn’t describing “Soul Sleep” or “Annihilationism” this is describing eternal Hell Fire

Jesus said “The righteous shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father” These are the wheat, these are those Born Again through Jesus Christ. Time is running out, whose side will you be on? Victory is already ours through Jesus Christ, because Christ has already overcome the world (John 16:33)

The harvest is coming! Are you ready? Are you a Child of God or a Child of Satan? Those who have spiritual discernment let them hear! Amen!

Matthew 13- Parables of The Kingdom of God

6 Replies

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. Matthew 13:31-32

Today we are going to take a look at two parables, one about the mustard seed and another about the leaven, however both of these parables are about the same thing, the Kingdom of God. Jesus starts out by saying “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed” So to understand how the Kingdom of God is being created Jesus uses the analogy of the mustard seed.

Jesus point here is “the mustard seed is the least of all seeds” , Christ point is the mustard seed is very small, however when it’s planted and grown, it becomes a large tree. This is essentially describing the ministry of Christ. Think about it, Jesus came down from Heaven, born of a virgin, grew into a man, and started his ministry on Earth with just 12 Apostles. Eventually over time it’s become the largest religion in the world, with Billions of followers. 

But also we can look at this from another perspective, the Kingdom of God is continually growing today, everyday the gospel is being preached to the world, and everyday souls are becoming Born Again and reconciled back to the Father into the Kingdom. The Kingdom of God is continually expanding and it’s essential we fulfill the Great Commision (Matthew 28:19) as commanded by Christ himself

Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. Matthew 13:33

Jesus uses another illustration here to prove the same point, this time its about using a little  leaven (yeast) to make a whole loaf of bread, it’s the same with building God’s Kingdom, it started small (Christ ministry) and has expanded into what it is today. Again the point is God’s Kingdom is continually growing , even today until the fullness of the Gentiles

Preach the gospel to everyone! (Matthew 28:19) Jesus commanded these words for a reason because the Kingdom of God is still expanding as souls are being Reborn everyday! Amen!

What Is A Mother?

4 Replies

What is a Mother? A mother to me is core and center of a family. Without the mother there would be no life, as only a womb and the love of a special woman can bring life into existence. As a Father I cant provide all the essential things that a Mother could. I cant provide the loving compassion of a Mother, I can try but always come up short. I cant provide the gentle soothing voice of a mother, I can try but will never sound right. I cant be the gentle place to fall , I can always try but probably the fall would still be rocky

The truth is we cant duplicate or replicate Mothers. Mothers are a special gift from God that provide every essential for human life. And yes woman can accomplish amazing feats just as men, but woman can never be replaced as a Mother because they have been chosen by God for this special purpose

So today I wanted to honor our Mothers and let them know that just as God highly chose Mary to be the mother of Jesus, he highly chose all of you to be the mother of your children. This is not a calling that should be taken and seen lightly. It’s a calling that only special woman can fulfill. And I just wanted to say that I respect and love all of you from the bottom of my heart!

Matthew 13- The Wheat and The Tares

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Matthew 13:24-29

When we look at Christianity today, there is a such a division and difference between many denominations and “Christians” in general, so how did this happen? Well it’s simple because many of the people in the Churches today are the tares or false converts. Not everyone in your Church or denomination is saved, why? Because Satan planted tares among the wheat, Satan is planting demonic people in Churches to corrupt and destroy them.

You might say “Why would God allow this to happen”? Jesus said “If you remove the tares, you might uproot the wheat with them” This is an interesting statement implying some of the tares might become wheat! This is the grace of God, even though we don’t deserve mercy, God is patient in wanting everyone to become saved (2 Peter 3:9) Just as Jesus said “The rain falls on the just and the unjust” (Matthew 5:45) This is why fulfilling the Great Commision (Matthew 28:19) is critical for everyone soul and the return of Christ

Now some will say “A Tare (Weed) could never be in my Church” think about Judas, he was one of the original 12 Apostles, he witnessed Christs miracles, he listened to his teachings in person, he even broke bread with The Lord, yet Satan entered him and he sold his soul for 30 pieces of silver! The Tares are everywhere including your Church, be careful to be led by the Holy Spirit and not man

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn Matthew 13:30

Jesus said “Let them grow together till the harvest” What is the harvest? Judgment day, when the wicked (tares) stand before Christ and are judged. What about the wheat? Gather them in my barn says The Lord, meaning there is no judgment for those in Christ (Romans 8:1)

For the Tares Christ said “Bind them in bundles and burn them, meaning Hell Fire. Repent and turn to Jesus before it’s too late! Amen!
