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:
How are you living your life today? Are you living
it in accord with what Jesus wants you to live it?
Many of us live life as if there is no
tomorrow, we live life to enjoy whatever this world could offer us, including
sin. But life lived for this world alone is not the real life; there is
something more profound than the life that we enjoy in this fleeting
world.
The profound life is a life lived in the company of
Jesus. But how could we discover the movement of Jesus in our lives? There are
so many ways to discern this movement of Jesus in our lives.
For example you will discover that Jesus wants to
have a deep friendship with you through a relative or a good friend. Through a
written commentary that you just read out of nowhere and this written
commentary made you think about how you are living your life today.
The good friend and the written commentary that
you’ve read are part of the many seeds that Jesus sows in your heart. And Jesus
expects nothing less from you than to listen to Him because Jesus always wants
nothing but the best for you.
At the end of the gospel Jesus speaks about harvest
time or judgment day. When would this be? This will be at the end of our lives,
when we die to be more specific. We will be judged according to what we’ve done
in this world. If we listened to Jesus we will have a place in His kingdom.
