Remind about parables

Begin Exposition
We now return to Jesus’ teaching of parables
Notice, he is reintroducing the concept of the kingdom of heaven.
explain “kingdom of heaven/God”
“may be compared to” the following parable
This parable involves a man who sows good seed
His enemy contaminated his field with weed.
Sleeping does not imply laziness of workers but sneakiness of the enemy
The field was wheat (vs.
29)
The weeds were “bearded darnel”
Compare
Here, Jesus is just emphasizing that these plants came up at the same time.
The works tell the farm owner what has happened
They ask, should we go pick the weeds
So they would not be watering them and would not hindering the growth of the good plants
The roots get intertwined so even if you were careful, you would lose many wheat plants
Instead, they will separate at harvest
Jesus is going to provide an interpretation of this parable so we will wait for that before making a point from this passage.
Another parable
Again about the kingdom of heaven
This one does not provide an interpretation
Mustard seed
I.
The Kingdom is begins small
Same point
App: Because of the kingdoms small beginnings (we are still in this stage), you must wait patiently for final physical victory
Sometimes, like many of the Psalms, we can get frustrated by the things of life:
list examples
Be patient, all the blessings you rightly desire await you
Psalm 78
Explain difficulties
II.
Jesus is the ultimate fulfillment of all of Scripture
App: Have confidence
III.
You must live alongside the seed of the enemy, but the ultimate end for those who follow is peace.
The opposite is also true
Those who don’t follow will suffer
Explain hell
App: Follow Jesus
