This week, we explore another parable about the Kingdom of Heaven—this time, through the imagery of a fishing net. Jesus describes the Kingdom as a net cast into the sea, gathering all kinds of fish. When the net is full, the fish are sorted—the good are kept, while the bad are discarded.
This parable reminds us that we all coexist in the world, both righteous and wicked, but a final separation will come. At the end of the age, God will judge, dividing those who belong to Him from those who do not. The contrast is stark: the righteous experience life with God, while the wicked face eternal separation.
Our choices matter. Though we all share common experiences—love, hardship, and daily life—we are ultimately distinguished by faith in Jesus. Righteousness isn’t about being “good enough” but about trusting Christ and following Him.
Are you living in obedience to God? Do you stand out as a follower of Christ? Now is the time to commit to Him and live in a way that honors Him. When the net is drawn in, make sure you’re found among those who are kept for eternity.
