Matthew 13:47-52

It’s essential for every disciple of Jesus who sows the good seed of the Gospel to acknowledge the reality of just judgment found in the Old Covenant as well as the reality of redemption found in the New Covenant. But too often, the Good News is overemphasized without providing the reality of the bad news. People are invited to be saved without truly understanding what they are saved from. The Good News is good only if the bad news is understood. As sowers of God’s Word, we must faithfully share the whole gospel in love with all who have ears to hear.
