THE SANCTUARY LAMP IS BURNING THIS WEEK JULY 18 - JULY 24 FOR Today Jesus continues to speak to his followers using para-
bles. What a rich treasure we are given today in three parables about the kingdom of heaven! The kingdom is likened to a man sowing good seed in his field, a mustard seed, and yeast mixed with flour. As they did last week, today the disciples press Jesus for an interpretation of one of the parables—the parable of the man sowing good seed. Lest we think that these parables are simply amusing little anecdotes, Jesus’ interpreta-tion should be seen for what it is—a warning. Wailing and grinding of teeth in a fiery furnace await those who are chil-dren of the evil one. This parable points to the struggle for today’s believer. Sometimes, through sin, we sow weeds and prevent the love of Christ from blossoming. Let today’s Gos-pel help put us back on track. Let us recommit ourselves to preparing for the last days, the harvest, by blossoming as the good seeds we were created in love to be.
