The BIG Net

47 “Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. 48 When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away. 49 This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous 50 and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 13:47-50

Listen… It is our second notice.

First notice? Heaven’s a treasure worth more than anything.

Who has authority to say this?

Jesus.

He created the world. Every life.

Jesus is the truth.

His second notice: severe. No one escapes God’s BIG NET.

Let that sink deep, no one escapes. It’s an infinite net, worldwide.

All are “caught” held accountable for words, deeds and thoughts…everyone.

A good fish? Those who are righteous. Righteousness comes from God.

Bad fish? Those who have not turned from sin. TOSSED.

Heaven for the first.

Eternal punishment for the other.

Stay in the net. Say yes.
