The Kingdom of God is like a fishing net that gathers as many souls as possible. Our job is to join God in spreading the net by sharing the good news of Jesus with everyone, without worrying about who is worthy. God will sort it all out in the end.
Imagine this: You're on a boat, and you've got this massive net. You throw it out into the water, and it sinks, capturing all sorts of fish. You pull it back in, and you've got a boatload of fish, all different kinds. That's what Jesus said the Kingdom of Heaven is like.
Jesus wasn't just talking about fish, though. He was talking about people. God's Kingdom is like a big net, and He wants to pull in as many people as possible. He doesn't care what they look like, where they come from, or what they've done. He just wants them in the net.
God's Kingdom is like a big net, and He wants to pull in as many people as possible.
Let's do a little experiment. I've got a bag of mixed candies here. I'm going to pour them all out on this table. Now, imagine this table is the world, and these candies are people. Some are sweet, some are sour, some are hard, some are soft. But God, He wants them all. He's not picky. He loves every single one.
But here's the thing. At the end of the day, there's going to be a sorting. Just like when you pull in a net full of fish, you've got to sort out the good from the bad. Jesus said the same thing will happen with people. The good will be kept, and the bad will be thrown away.
So, what does this mean for us? It means we've got a job to do. We're part of God's fishing crew. We've got to help spread the net, tell people about Jesus, and bring them into the Kingdom.
This week, think about who you can share Jesus with. Maybe it's a friend, a family member, or a classmate. Don't worry about whether they're good enough or not. That's not our job. Our job is to spread the net.
Dear God, help us to be good fishers for Your Kingdom. Give us the courage to share Your love with others and bring them into Your net. We know You'll do the sorting, so help us not to judge but to love. Amen.
