Here is the Stand on the Word reading for today:

Matthew 13 ESV | NKJV | AUDIO

Reflection Questions:

1) What was Jesus' interpretation of the Parable of the Wheat and Weeds (v. 36-43)?

1. Son of Man (Jesus) sows the good seed (sons of the kingdom)
2. Devil sows the bad seed (sons of the evil one)
3. Field is the world and the harvest is the end of the age
4. Reapers are angels who gather the evil for fiery torment and the good for glory
5. All of the above

2) What is the main point of Jesus' twin Parables of the Hidden Treasure and Pearl of Great Price (see v. 44-46)
