Parable of Wheat and Weeds
The Parable of
The Wheat and the Weeds
Matt 13:24-30; 36-43
He set another parable before them, saying,
"The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel also among the wheat, and went away.
But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the darnel appeared also. The servants of the householder came and said to him,
‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field?
Where did this darnel come from?’
"He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’"The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and gather them up?’
"But he said, ‘No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel, you root up the wheat with them.
Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers,  "First, gather up the darnel, and bind them in bundles to burn them;
 but gather the wheat into my barn."‘"
Explanation
Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house.
His disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the darnel of the field."
He answered them,
 "He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
 the field is the world;
 and the good seed, these are the children of the kingdom;
 and the darnel are the children of the evil one.
 The enemy who sowed them is the devil.
 The harvest is the end of the age,
 and the reapers are angels.
As therefore the darnel is gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity, and will cast them into the furnace of fire.
There will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear." (web)

    The southern colonies were probably some of the most deceiving colonies of the original thirteen. They got people to do hard labor for them. The colonists I guess you can say were like “supervisors.” They would sit under some shade sipping on ice cold water while they watched their slaves and servants sweat and maybe even bleed by doing things the owners were capable of doing but were just to lazy to. Deceiving because they say they will give you land and freedom which is true, but in the end they wouldn’t give you the exact same rights the colonists did.…

    In Milkweed, the setting of the story is in Europe during World War 2. The setting affects the story, because since the story happens during a war the characters may act differently according to the situation. Moreover the time period affects why the story was written because Spinelli might have deep thoughts about the time and Spinelli used it in the sense that we already know some about that time. I think the author incorporates imagery through Stoptheif's dreams. For example on page 1," I am running. The first thing I remember. Running. I carry something, my arm curled around it, hugging it to my chest. Bread, of course."(Spinelli 1) Therefore, I better understand the story because I can see in my head what was happening and I do not have…

    To start off the kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Now mustard seeds are the smallest of all seeds however when it grows it is the largest of all garden plants. The kingdom of heaven is also compared to yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds of flour until it worked all through the dough. In my eyes the analogy of the mustard seed is saying kingdoms start off small and progress overtime. I believe the analogy of yeast is saying when it comes to faith in God you cannot stop until completely renovated. For example, yeast turns into bread.…

    when We hear "Kingdom of heaven" A lot of people assume a lot of things. Yancey was able compare these two assumption to what the people thought while Jesus was on earth and what people think during this time he is no more alive to correct our thought. He discovered There is no much difference with what this two era thought, I agree with what Yancey is saying here I feel like our thought hasn't really changed. I also like how Yancey gives scenario relating to life. He wrote the kingdom is not like a "business" it's not meant for only certain people but it's for everyone and anybody. This kingdom is based on the person's choice not wealth or any other feature we might think. During the time was Jesus preaching he was not telling people the kingdom of God is by "force" or everyone as must go to the kingdom, but it's about choice and this kingdom is within us with rules different from the ones we know on earth, with no geography therefore the kingdom is a place for everyone who as chosen to go…
