Jesus dismissed the crowds and went into the house. His disciples
approached him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the
field." He said in reply, "He who sows good seed is the Son of Man,
the field is the world, the good seed the children of the Kingdom. The weeds
are the children of the Evil One, and the enemy who sows them is the Devil. The
harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. Just as weeds are
collected and burned up with fire, so will it be at the end of the age.
The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his
Kingdom all who cause others to sin and all evildoers. They will throw them
into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth. Then
the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. Whoever
has ears ought to hear."

Reflection:
A sinful man suddenly died he was therefore immediately ushered by the
devil to his fiery kingdom. The sinful man was wailing and resisting his
instant enrolment to Satan’s den but he couldn’t do anything to change his
destiny.
If only he repented from his sinfulness, if only he listened to the
advice of his relatives to change for the better and embrace God. He could have
not ended in hell, but he never listened.
There are two opposing powers in this world one is God and the other is
the evil one. God sows good seeds to us the evil one sow’s weeds. From our
conception, birth until our death God has only one desire for us and that is to
sow His good seeds in our hearts.
However, as we mature the evil one would try to overpower us with his many inducements. Which if we bite would only result to our perdition and passage to his horrifying kingdom.
Let us hate sin or any action that will make us sin, let us hate and walk
away from the devil and his countless enticements. Let us rather embrace God
and follow the way of Jesus no matter how hard for this is the way to heaven. –
