The Parable of the Net represents the inescapable judgment of God (Matthew 13:47-50). In the Lord's time, there will be a gathering and separation of the righteous from the wicked. The Lord's pending judgment is compared to a large fishing net. This gathering of fish is an illustration of the gathering of all people at the end of the age for judgment. No one will escape God's judgment. The net of judgment is all encompassing and inescapable. Angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous. The righteous in Christ will be gathered unto the Lord. The wicked will be thrown into a fiery furnace - the lake of fire or hell, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth for all eternity. The fulfillment of the prophetic truth of this parable will occur at the Second Coming of Christ when the world will be judged. Jesus made it clear in this parable that it is a terrible thing to be cast into the fiery furnace of hell. It will be a place of endless torment for those who never received Jesus by faith as their Savior, Lord and Life. Have you trusted in Jesus to be your Redeemer? The message this Sunday, which will also be streamed on Facebook Live, will consider the inescapable judgment of God.

In the parable of the pearl, the pearl of great value is the church which Jesus gave His all to redeem. Jesus gave His life to purchase us for Himself. Unlike most other gems, the beauty of a pearl is its unity. It cannot be cut like a diamond or ruby to enhance its beauty. Most precious gems must be cut to expose their beauty, but the moment you cut a pearl, you ruin it. Like a round pearl, the beauty of the church is its unity and wholeness. We are all one in Christ. We have different gifts, talents, and ministries, but in Christ we are one (Romans 12:4-5). Just as a pearl is ruined if it is cut, so the work of the church is hindered when it is cut or fragmented. If divided, the body of Christ is crippled from its intended design of unity. We are called to function as one, even though we are diverse in our talents, gifts, and interests. Jesus prayed that we would be one (John 17:11, 20-23). The Scriptures stress the importance of the unity of God's people (Psalms 133:1; I Corinthians 12:14-27; Ephesians 4:1-6). Satan’s strategy is to divide the body of Christ. May we pray against his schemes as we by faith put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). The message this Sunday, which will also be streamed on Facebook Live, will consider the value of the unity of the body of Christ.
