Help Them Understand

The Gospel is so simple that a child can understand and yet so profound that the greatest mind cannot penetrate its truth. Our Lord Jesus explained the Kingdom of God by using parables. In this week’s sermon, we will talk about one of his more difficult parables explaining who will inherit the Kingdom of God.


Scripture: Matthew 13:47-51
“Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away. This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

“Have you understood all these things?” Jesus asked.

“Yes,” they replied.


Renewing Reflections
It is our prayer that Renewing Reflections will be a blessing in your life this coming week. This quote is taken from the sermon We Shape Our Eternal Destiny delivered on Christian Crusaders August 8, 2010:

Jesus has spoken clearly to us when he says the end is coming. We are going to die. Be ready to meet him by receiving Jesus as our Savior. Then we will meet our Lord clothed in his righteousness as spotless and clean. Some of you might ask, “Is there nothing that I do in getting ready to die? All I need to do is to trust Jesus and claim him as my Savior and Lord.” That is true. We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. However, when that faith is in our hearts, God will create a will and desire to free ourselves from those things that are contrary to his will.
