Poisonous Rye

Matthew 13
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
38 the field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42 and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

The saving grace of Jesus Christ and the profound comfort that comes it - it is hard to comprehend in the face of this parable. I can smell the burning flesh - of this burnt offering.

And yet....I pray, peacefully....with blessd assurance....
