Matthew 13:36-43

Jesus Explains the Parable of the Weeds ~

So, Jesus is done preaching for the day.  He heads home (or back to where ever He is staying) & the disciples ask Him to explain the parable of the weeds.  Jesus tells them:

He is the sower of good seed.
Field = world
Believers = good seed
Weeds = non-believers
Enemy = Satan
Harvest = End of the World
Harvesters = angels

Jesus is telling how the world began - God created it & it was good.  Satan introduced sin.  Currently both co-exist on this world.  However, at a later date, the world will end & the angels will collect the non-believers (those still marked with sin) and send them to live for all eternity with the one they followed - Satan.  At that time, all those who believe will be with Jesus & all those that believed in themselves will be with Satan.  Pretty clear & simple. 

So, which are you?  Good, productive seed or weeds that choke out life?
