In Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 Jesus gives the meaning of this parable. In fact, all parables in this chapter teach us about God and His kingdom. They explain what the kingdom is really like as opposed to our expectations of it. The Kingdom of Heaven is not a geographic location, but a spiritual realm where God rules and where we share in His eternal life. In this message, we will look at three things: One, the Lord and His eternal purpose, two

the sinner and His eternal perdition, and the Christian and the eternal prize.
