Why Jesus said Good and Evil will Grow Together - Matthew 13:24-52 (Session 26)
Description
Why does God allow good and evil to continue side by side?
In Matthew 13, Jesus tells the parable of the wheat and the weeds and later the parable of the dragnet. Both teach that the world contains those who belong to Christ and those who do not, and that the final separation does not happen immediately.
Glenn and Steve work through Jesus’ own explanation of the wheat and weeds, discuss the reality of false believers and false teachers, and consider why Christians must be careful about trying to determine another person’s salvation.
The study then moves to the dragnet, where fish of every kind are gathered before the good are separated from the bad. That leads into a larger discussion about the end of the age, the present church age, the future millennial kingdom, the return of Christ, and why the final judgment should make the Gospel urgent today.
The central takeaway is simple: the harvest is coming, the net will eventually be full, and today is the day to respond to Christ.
