01.18.2015 New Testament: Matt 13.47–50

To read the Bible in a year, read Matthew 13.33–58 on January 18, In the year of our Lord 2015

By Don Ruhl

Jesus spoke a parable of the impending judgment, showing that some people will be thrown away, and they will have a horrible experience,

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some of every kind, which, when it was full, they drew to shore; and they sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away. So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth, separate the wicked from among the just, and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 13.47–50). 

The event approaches when these things shall happen. We have no idea when it shall happen, but we know that today we are one day closer to it than we were yesterday. Struggle to make sure that you are not in the group thrown into the furnace of fire.
