Gospel
Matthew 13:24-30
Let them both grow till the harvest
Jesus put another parable before the crowds: ‘The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field. While everybody was asleep his enemy came, sowed darnel all among the wheat, and made off. When the new wheat sprouted and ripened, the darnel appeared as well. The owner’s servants went to him and said, “Sir, was it not good seed that you sowed in your field? If so, where does the darnel come from?” “Some enemy has done this” he answered. And the servants said, “Do you want us to go and weed it out?” But he said, “No, because when you weed out the darnel you might pull up the wheat with it. Let them both grow till the harvest; and at harvest time I shall say to the reapers: First collect the darnel and tie it in bundles to be burnt, then gather the wheat into my barn.”’
Reflection
This reading share what happen on judgement day. Put it simply those who received the word of God and those who reject the word of God. Those who reject will be burnt in hell while those who follow the word will be saved. This is a frightening and timely reminder on the choice that we make and the reality of this world. Are you preparing for judgement day?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus on judgement day nothing is more valuable than to have a place in your kingdom. May we live a meaningful life guided by your word.
Amen
