A Story to live

²⁴Jesus told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. ²⁵But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. ²⁶When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.

²⁷"The owner's servants came to him and said, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?'

²⁸" 'An enemy did this,' he replied.
"The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?'

²⁹" 'No,' he answered, 'because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. ³⁰Let 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.' "

Jesus often taught by telling stories, many times using them to describe the kingdom heaven but unfortunately he did not always explain them and so many of the people he spoke to did not understand the parable above had to be explained to the disciples a few verses later. And isn't that still our problem we do not understand the story the bible tells us or the one we are living. And that is exactly what Satan wants he wants to live in ignorance of the great story we are a part of now he wants us to think that we are insignificant, because if we are insignificant in this story then we should just stay out of the way and not get involved. In reality however the complete opposite is true we are the major characters of the story. If we don't understand the story though then we can not know our part or how to play it. So today ask god for guidance and wisdom to understand the story ask him to explain it to you as his disciples did and then listen for the answer. Because once you understand the story and know your role in it you begin to live as who you were meant to be.

³⁶Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field."

³⁷He answered, "The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. ³⁸The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, ³⁹and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

⁴⁰"As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. ⁴¹The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. ⁴²They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. ⁴³Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
