Matthew 13:44-52, Mark 4:21-29, and Luke 8:16-18
So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous… (Matthew 13:49) It’s worth repeating what Debbie posted a few days ago. At the end of the age it will be the angels sorting the good from the bad. It will not be our job then and it’s certainly not our job now!
Normally I don’t do this, but today I’d like to direct your attention to notes in the links below that I posted in 2019. Many items I picked up in my reading today are some of the same things I saw two years ago. I especially appreciated my observation about the Avanza kids questioning the one man’s unethical behavior! (See below).

Fred, I was like the Avanza kids. Why is it a good thing that he hid the treasure back then went to buy the land? First, whether we are looking for the kingdom (seeking a pearl) or stumbling upon it (out in some field and finding it by chance), we need to know it when we see it. Second it will cost us all we have. Then pair this with Mark’s bushel parable. What do we do with our light, whether we stumble on it or seek it? We must share it. Does our life point others to find God? We need to be there when unbelievers need help, physically or otherwise, when they are open. How am I doing on that????
