The kingdom of heaven is the body of Christ the church of the living God. The word of God is the seed by which men enter God’s kingdom. Jesus, the Son of Man, is the one who sowed good seed. As Satan twisted the word of God in the Garden of Eden, so Satan does it today through people who are stumbling blocks of the kingdom. The plants that produce good grain are those who are obedient and pure in heart to the word of God. Matthew 13:24 “He presented another parable to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away.” There will be stumbling blocks. We can eventually know who the stumbling blocks are. They are destructive. Matthew 13:26 But when the wheat sprang up and bore grain, then the tares became evident also.” Unless we are able to recognize the tares, we too will be part of the tares because we will assume the tares are the real wheat bearing real grain. Matthew 13:40 Therefore just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the end of the age. 13:41 The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, 13:42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire; in that place there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. The righteous are the good grain. Matthew 13:43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.” We must seek to be pure in heart, fearful and fateful to God who loves us as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Titus 1:15 “To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. 16 They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient, and worthless for any good deed.” Love from Don
