"We Need To Receive The Message Of God" from Matthew 13:44-58

Field - is the world, the ground, the Earth.
When Jesus talks about a Man - he is talking about himself.
It is not the things of this world that can bring us back to God.

In verse 44 Jesus gave up everything to redeem us.
Hebrews 12:2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Colossians 2:3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.


The treasure is the church.

Merchant - describe as buyer but here it is also Jesus who planted the good seed.

1 John 5:11-12 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

If you have the Son - Jesus, you will have the Life.

Another interpretation of the merchant = A true christians is a spiritual merchant who seeks for this fine pearls - word of God, that will make you happy and give up everything.

What are the things we need to learn?
We need to receive God's message and seek God. Remember the song of Kari Jobe - "the more I seek you, the more I find you, the more I find you, The more I love you".

If we are the merchant and Christ will be the pearl then salvation will be our effort which is wrong, because salvation comes through Christ. Pearls - is plural not singular (God) and so we are the pearls we should not find Jesus but He is there for us to receive and He will redeem us.

And now for the parable of the net, this was related to the parables of the weeds. This is how we will be in the end of the age. The judgement day.


Nice Christian Life Experiences~~~

Notes from Mark 13:14-27

Mark 13:14-27 New International Version (NIV) 14 “When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’[a] standing where it[b] does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 18 Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again. 20 “If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. 21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. 22 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even

Mark 13:32-37

Mark 13:32-37 New International Version (NIV) The Day and Hour Unknown 32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be alert[a]! You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. 35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”
