DCLM Daily Manna Devotional 27th September 2023 MESSAGE
As harvest time is to all farmers irrespective of their geographical locations worldwide, so is the end of the world to believers and unbelievers. However, our Lord is coming back again to take the saints to heaven for a blissful eternity. He will reward His saints with crowns of glory and they shall finally spend their eternity in the kingdom of our Father in heaven. To sinners, He promises eternal damnation.
In today’s text, Christ our Lord speaks to His disciples in parables about the decision of God to reward all men according to their deeds on the last day. Christ emphasises the parable of the tares of the field. He likens the kingdom of God to a man sowing good seeds in his farmland. However, while sleeping, his enemy sows tares among the wheat. When the wheat sprouts, the tares grow alongside. The servants of the sower observe the development, report to their master and suggest that the tares should be removed to give the wheat a chance of bearing fruits. The sower declines his servants advice, preferring both tares and wheat grow together. He directs that the wheat shall be harvested and separated from the tares at the time of harvest.
The sower of the good seed is our Lord Jesus Christ. The field is the world where the sinner and saints live together, though heading to different destinations at the end of the world. The good seeds are the children of God while the tares are the children of the devil. The enemy that planted the tares is Satan and the harvest is the end of the world.
As the sower separates the tares from the wheat at the time of harvest, God will separate sinners from saints at the end of the world. While He sends sinners to the lake that burns with fire and brimstones, He will bring His saints into eternal rest in His kingdom.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Eternal regrets await all who die without Christ.
