Jesus finishes the private instruction he has with his disciples about the meaning of the parable of the weeds.

Jesus shifts his focus from teaching in parables to the crowds to private instruction with the disciples.

In this episode I discuss a conversation I had with a gentleman in LinkedIn. Obviously, he was not but I engaged him anyway. His answers displayed blatant adoptionism and Docetism, and I give a brief description of these two heresies so we can be more aware.

Matthew explains that Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables to fulfill a prophecy found in Psalm 78:2

Jesus speaks of the parable of the yeast. The kingdom of God has such an effect that a small dose of it can change things.

Jesus starts to speak about the parable of the mustand seed. It is a tiny seed, but when it is in bloom it becomes a tree.

Jesus finishes the parable of the weeds among wheat. The conclusion is that the weeds will ultimately be cut down.

Jesus begins to tell the disciples another parable, but he begins by explaining the part of the meaning of the parable. Today marks the beginning of the parable known as "The Parable of Weeds Among Wheat".

Today we finish the parable of the sower. Jesus described a seed that was sown in good soil. It bears fruit and multiplies. Are our lives duplicating the Gospel message?

Jesus continues describing the parable of the sower and moves to a second type of soil. Next he describes a seed among thorns, and uses it as an anology of a someone who accepts to word but the earthly desires choke his zeal.
