Episode Synopsis

Matthew 13:24-30; 1 Corinthians 6:2-3Greetings, if you would like to support Free Gospel Church and our ministries, you can make a donation at FreeGospelAssembly.com.  Thank you for listening. If this message has blessed you please share it, that others may hear! God bless you.This parable is only found in Matthew along with its eschatological explanation. Itpresents the kingdom of heaven that’s trying to be established in a world full of wheatand weeds. They grow together and God has permitted an enemy gardener to infest thefield with weeds. Ephesians 2:2 describes Satan as the originator of the “ways of thisworld.” & “...ruler of the Kingdom of the air” The spirits who is now at work in those whoare disobedient(The weeds); 1 John 5:19 states, “We know that we are children of Godand that the whole world (we are growing in) is under the control of the evil one.”, full of“weeds”. For some reason God permits the weeds(evil) and wheat (His Kingdom) to beentangled in a complex way, beyond human understanding and ability to separate them.It’s not until God sends His own reapers(angels) as part of the harvest at His Parousiaor 2nd coming that they will gather out of His Kingdom all cause of sin & all evil doers...Matthew 13:41. Our job is never to do the son’s job, to rightly clear the field of this fallen world, but rather keep planting the wheat. It will grow with God’s help even in the midst of the weeds.
