God's Kingdom parable

Hi guys,  how are you doing?
Just want to share a bit of what I got when reading this passage. Before hand, on Mat 6, Jesus said do not worry so many times, and in the middle he said: "Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well". 

So what does he mean by His Kingdom or Kingdom of Heaven? In later chapter, 13, He explained it all with parables.

- a man who sowed good seed in his field/the parable of the weeds
- a mustard seed
- a yeast that got mixed 
- treasure hidden in field
- fine pearl
- net caught all kinds of fish

What I find interesting is, he explains couple of His parables! huh, very rare of him to explain parables, hehe, but nonetheless, he did explain about the parable of the sower and the parable of the weeds. 

And then, on verse 29 & 30, interestingly, it seems like Jesus 'let' the weeds grew altogether with the wheat (good seeds)... in here Jesus said let the evil grow, let every bad things happen, for it already rooted together with the wheat!  I guess that's why we see so many bad things happen, brokenness here and there, and this is where we're growing, along with the weeds!  

But do not worry, in the end, God himself will separate the weeds from the wheat! That's where grace comes in and separate us! Once we belong to Christ, nothing can separate us (Romans 8:35), we're the wheat and He himself will pick us up and separate us, and in the end God's barn sounds so much better than fiery furnace (Mat 13: 42-43) 

:)

Keep up your daily bible reading! and Have a blessed day!
