Mystery #2

Jesus tells us in Matthew 13:24 about the Kingdom of Heaven.
To help us understand spiritual things, Jesus tells us about natural things.
In the first mystery, Jesus told us about different soil.
Now He explains what grows in his field.
There is wheat and tares (a poisonous grain).
Someone came in at night and sowed the tares with the wheat.
Jesus said, let them grow up together and at harvest time we will burn the tares and store the wheat.
Verse 38 explains that the field is the world,
the good seed (wheat) are the children of God,
the tares are the children of the wicked one.
At the end of time, the righteous will shine as the sun and the wicked will be gathered into a furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Only through God's great salvation by Jesus Christ can any one avoid being a tare in God's field.
Jesus says, If you have and ear, then hear!
God pours out His Great Love to mankind, calls out to people who only stumble in darkness, and shines His Great Light of Love through the Cross of Christ.
Anyone who is thirsty can come and drink from the water of life that is freely given.
