In yesterday’s Chapel, Ash offered a profound homily rooted in Matthew 13:47–52, which delves into the Parable of the Net where Jesus likens the kingdom of heaven to a net thrown into the sea, gathering fish of every kind. Once full, the fishermen pull it ashore, sit down, and sort the good fish into containers but throw away the bad ones. This parable illustrates the end times when angels will separate the wicked from the righteous, demonstrating the inclusivity of God’s kingdom that ultimately leads to a separation based on righteousness. Jesus concludes by comparing a knowledgeable scribe about the kingdom of heaven to a homeowner who brings out new and old treasures, suggesting the value of both the Old and New Testament teachings in understanding God’s kingdom.
