Bible studyMatthew 13 ; 18-23

When a man hears the word that tells of the Kingdom but fails to understand it , the evil one comes and carries off what has been sown in his heart. There you have the seed sown along the footpath. The seed sown on rocky ground stands for ( What ?)

The man who , on hearing the word , accepts it at once with joy ; but as it strikes no root in him he has no staying power , and when there is trouble or persecution on account of the word he falls away at once.

The seed sown among thistles represent. ( What?)

The man who hears the word , but worldly cares and the false glamor of wealth choke it , and it proves barren.

The seed that fell into good soil is the man who ( What?)

Who hears the word and understands it , who accordingly bears fruit , and yields a hundredfold or , it may be sixty-fold or thirty-fold.

Which one of these people are you or want to be ?

Read Matthew 13 ; 24 to 35 Try to see and hear what Jesus is saying.

Matthew 13 ; 37 The sower of the good seed is the Son of Man (Jesus) The field is the world ; the good seed stands for the children of the Kingdom , the darnel for the children of the evil one. The enemy who sowed the darnel (Was who?) the devil . The harvest is ( What ?) The end of time. The reapers are (Who?) angels. As the darnel , then is gathered up and burnt , so at the end of time the Son on Man (Jesus) will send out his angels , ( Who will what ?) Who will gather out of his kingdom whatever makes men stumble , and all whose deeds are EVIL , and those will be thrown into (What ?) the blazing furnace , the place of wailing and grinding of teeth. ( NOTE)-Don't think you can be so special that the devil will treat you any better then all the rest ) And then the righteous will shine as bright as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. (Note)- I am looking forward to that day ) Vice 43- If you have ears then hear.

What is the kingdom of Heaven like ?

Matthew 13 ; 44 The kingdom of Heaven is like treasure lying buried in a field. The man who found it , buried it again ; and for sheer joy went and sold everything he had , and bought that field.

V-45 Here is another picture of the kingdom of Heaven . A merchant looking out for fine pearls found one of very special value ; so he went and sold everything he had and bought it.

(NOTE)- this IS how it WILL be at the end of time.

V-49 Then the men sat down and collected the good fish into pails and threw the worthless away. That is how it will be at the end of time. The angels will go forth and they will separate the wicked from the good , and throw them into the blazing furnace , the place of wailing and grinding of teeth.

(NOTE)- Jesus has told us all of this. Now if we do not see , do not hear , do not believe , or do not repent it is on us our fault.
