Blessed to Have a Just Judge, Working Toward Being Fine Wheat, Growing for God to Make a Difference in this World!
God is so kind and merciful! He is a just God! He wants us to be kind, good people, follow Him, know Him, He will save us and bring us to Heaven with Him someday once we leave this Earth School and complete His mission, plan, purpose for us here on this Earth. Lord, you are good and forgiving! He loves us so much! His Spirit comes to the aid of our weakness, what a blessing! He knows our needs! Jesus has the best parables in the Bible to learn from. We need to be sowers of good wheat, good things, be good, positive, loving, Christ-like. While the enemy, the devil and his slaves will do much evil on this Earth, sow many weeds and do many bad and negative things, God will judge, He will separate us when the time comes, He will bring us to Heaven to the Grain house in the sky to spend eternity with Him, we need to follow Him, not the devil nor become a slave for Satan. We are in the weeds of this world, it is life and messy, hard sometimes, but we still need to let ourselves grow as wheat among the weeds. We are not of this world. We need to not become so consumed by this world! We all know right from wrong, good from evil, what is bad, it is not our place to judge, turn it over to God, let Him be the judge. We just need to follow Jesus and His teachings. Let's keep this positive, it is better, Jesus said, "then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears ought to hear." We just need to follow Him, Heed his teachings, be obedient, be people of goodwill. The Son of Man will send His angels, and they will collect out of His kingdom all who cause others to sin and all evildoers. God is a god of many chances, He is calling us, He is guiding us, we just need to listen to Him, follow Him. Our work in life will live on, do we want to be remembered as wheat or weeds? While there is good and evil, it is not our place to judge, turn that all over to God, He is the great and just judge of us all. Let His will be done in your life, follow Him, be good wheat the best you can. We live in a messy world with many weeds, we need to make the best of it, do good, and let God collect us into His barn in the sky!
Wisdom 12:13, 16-19
There is no god besides you who have the care of all,
that you need show you have not unjustly condemned.
For your might is the source of justice;
your mastery over all things makes you lenient to all.
For you show your might when the perfection of your power is disbelieved;
and in those who know you, you rebuke temerity.
But though you are master of might, you judge with clemency,
and with much lenience you govern us;
for power, whenever you will, attends you.
And you taught your people, by these deeds,
that those who are just must be kind;
and you gave your children good ground for hope
that you would permit repentance for their sins.
Ps 86:5-6, 9-10, 15-16
R. (5a) Lord, you are good and forgiving.
You, O LORD, are good and forgiving,
abounding in kindness to all who call upon you.
Hearken, O LORD, to my prayer
and attend to the sound of my pleading.
R. Lord, you are good and forgiving.
All the nations you have made shall come
and worship you, O LORD,
and glorify your name.
For you are great, and you do wondrous deeds;
you alone are God.
R. Lord, you are good and forgiving.
You, O LORD, are a God merciful and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in kindness and fidelity.
Turn toward me, and have pity on me;
give your strength to your servant.
R. Lord, you are good and forgiving.
Romans 8:26-27
Brothers and sisters:
The Spirit comes to the aid of our weakness;
for we do not know how to pray as we ought,
but the Spirit himself intercedes with inexpressible groanings.
And the one who searches hearts
knows what is the intention of the Spirit,
because he intercedes for the holy ones
according to God's will.
Cf. Mt 11:25
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth;
you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the kingdom.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Matthew13:24-43
Jesus proposed another parable to the crowds, saying:
"The kingdom of heaven may be likened
to a man who sowed good seed in his field.
While everyone was asleep his enemy came
and sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then went off.
When the crop grew and bore fruit, the weeds appeared as well.
The slaves of the householder came to him and said,
'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field?
Where have the weeds come from?'
He answered, 'An enemy has done this.'
His slaves said to him,
'Do you want us to go and pull them up?'
He replied, 'No, if you pull up the weeds
you might uproot the wheat along with them.
Let them grow together until harvest;
then at harvest time I will say to the harvesters,
"First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles for burning;
but gather the wheat into my barn."'"
He proposed another parable to them.
"The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed
that a person took and sowed in a field.
It is the smallest of all the seeds,
yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants.
It becomes a large bush,
and the 'birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches.'"
He spoke to them another parable.
"The kingdom of heaven is like yeast
that a woman took and mixed with three measures of wheat flour
until the whole batch was leavened."
All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables.
He spoke to them only in parables,
to fulfill what had been said through the prophet:
I will open my mouth in parables,
I will announce what has lain hidden from the foundation
of the world.
Then, dismissing the crowds, he went into the house.
His disciples approached him and said,
"Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field."
He said in reply, "He who sows good seed is the Son of Man,
the field is the world, the good seed the children of the kingdom.
The weeds are the children of the evil one,
and the enemy who sows them is the devil.
The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
Just as weeds are collected and burned up with fire,
so will it be at the end of the age.
The Son of Man will send his angels,
and they will collect out of his kingdom
all who cause others to sin and all evildoers.
They will throw them into the fiery furnace,
where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.
Then the righteous will shine like the sun
in the kingdom of their Father.
Whoever has ears ought to hear."
