The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field

 Matthew 13:18-30

1.This is the seed sown along the path: who does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart.

2.The seed falling on rocky ground: since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away

3.The seed falling among the thorns: someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful

4.the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.

Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.

‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First, collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’

The wheat and the weeds. This story is concerned with the mixture of good and bad in this life, to be sorted out at the judgment.

Why?

The Lord allowed evil to exist in the world with us. When the judgment comes they will be discarded and be burned.

Do not angry with the evil one. All of these are under the hands of the Lord.

Watch out myself does my heart is good soil to the seed of gospel? Don't let the world affect my faith and my mind close to the Lord.

耶穌對願意聽且遵行的人，講的清楚明白。對其他人則用比喻。

撒在路邊： 不明白的人。因為不想明白，不當一回事。

撒在土淺處：聽到有好處，聽到他想聽的。其他的不想聽。只想要得到自己成功，不想受苦、不想遵行主的心意，還要背十字架。信主後病怎麼沒有好，生活沒有比較好……往上長人家可以看見，但是要往上長，必須先向下扎根。在危難時是否能夠堅守主的道。不要急著結果子。

荊棘地： 是來自世上的思慮，注重吃什麼，穿什麼，開什麼、住什麼，神沒有要人過苦日子，但是不要被錢財迷惑。你是看重荊棘，還是結出的果子。荊棘最後會刺上我們。這就是愛主又愛又愛瑪門。不可能荊棘和種子都長的好，一定要剷除荊棘才能長出果子。以神為樂！才是好土。

稗子和麥子生長在一起。現在還不是公義完全彰顯的時候，否則連基督徒也要受審判。教會當前的使命是使麥子好好長，長大更好，不急著除去其他人，因為我們不知道教會中誰是麥子，稗子

耶穌不放棄每個人，要讓每個人有機會成長，我們不要以為某人不合適，不會正面反應，怕我們看錯人。

把握成長的機會，否則我們就會成為稗子，最後被除掉。

How?

Be careful the evil like a lion on the road to search the weak one. Be strong and rely on the Lord! God is with us.
