Text: Matthew 13:24-28; Colossians 1:12-13
A spiritual battle is raging for the rulership of this world. The devil does not and will not give up! There are two kingdoms. . .the good seeds are the children of God (the Kingdom of Light). The weeds are the children of the wicked one (the kingdom of darkness). The devil is a rebel and he wants us to rebel. Satan advances his kingdom through sin. His goal is to cause us to sin and keep on sinning till we end up in hell. But, we have a Deliverer . . . a Redeemer! And, His name is Jesus! He is the antidote to whatever satan is trying to do to us. Through the blood of Jesus, we have salvation! We are made whole! With Jesus, we have hope! We have life! Death is not death to the believers. We just go to sleep and wake up on the other side. . .heaven! Our actions need to agree with our words. We can’t talk the talk and not walk the walk. There is a kingdom of darkness and a Kingdom of Light! Where will you spend eternity? Whom will you serve?
