Jesus Describes Heaven, The Kingdom of Heaven is like a net thrown into the sea...

 

Jesus said to the disciples:

“The Kingdom of heaven is like a net thrown into the sea,

which collects fish of every kind.

When it is full they haul it ashore

and sit down to put what is good into buckets.

What is bad they throw away.

Thus it will be at the end of the age.

The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous

and throw them into the fiery furnace,

where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.”

“Do you understand all these things?”

They answered, “Yes.”

And he replied,

“Then every scribe who has been instructed in the Kingdom of heaven

is like the head of a household who brings from his storeroom

both the new and the old.”

When Jesus finished these parables, he went away from there.

~Matthew 13:47-53

They put what is good into buckets. What is bad they throw away. Thus it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.” “Do you understand all these things?” Jesus said to those He spoke with. This is very clear! Jesus tells us how we need to behave and comport ourselves while on this Earth School, comparing us to a fish catch. Some will be good, others bad and be thrown away, put into a fiery furnace He says. We all have a chance to repent, to turn from sin, to be better people. God gave us Jesus, He is His son, Emmanuel, God with us, Jesus was the model, the example God gave us to follow while on this Earth School journey, we are called to follow Him, to reflect Him, to imitate Him! We need to obey God and His Commandments,  the teachings of Jesus, and be people of goodwill.  Jesus wants us to turn from sin and live upright lives. We need to be careful not to fall prey to things of this world, to the god of earth Satan and being his slaves, we need to be upright and holy, as righteous as we can. We are called, called to be fishers of humans for Christ, called to be imitators of Christ, and to be people of goodwill as we journey! Heaven must be our number one priority!
