The final parable in Matthew 13 is in a way, blunt. It is called the parable of the net, and it is similar to how the parable of the weeds ends, but it doesn’t contain the other truths in the parable of the weeds.
It might well be possible that Jesus ends this list of parables the way he does on purpose. We must see, and understand, and grasp, and feel that there is a final horrific judgement.
The fish will be separated, good from evil. The angels will “separate the evil from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Weeping! And gnashing of teeth! And thrown in the fiery furnace!
Those are the final words of the last parable. Is Jesus trying to make a point? Probably so.
How we see ourselves. And how we see those that we know who are not saved, or who have walked away from God have the a horrible future, a horrible eternity.
Let us care! Let us speak up!
“Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ.” Colossians 1:28
