"The field is the world... " important bible passage to (me!) sandra, tvgp

 -my life experiences forced me to contemplate, to think often about, to wonder, to research, to question

origins of evil.

and, for that very reason, the parable of the wheat and weeds explained stands out to me

***

Then, leaving the crowds outside, Jesus went into the house.  His disciples said, "Please explain to us the story of the weeds in the field."

Jesus replied,

"The Son of Man is the farmer who plants the good seed.

  ~ The field is the world ~

and the good seed represents the people of the Kingdom.

The weeds:   -are people who belong to the evil one.

The enemy who planted the weeds among the wheat is the devil.

The harvest

           is the end of the world and harvesters are the angels.

Just as the weeds are sorted out and burned in the fire

so it will be at the end of the world.

The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will remove from his Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.

And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father's Kingdom.

Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.

Matthew 13  36-43.
