In today’s Gospel there is talk of a kingdom of God.Jesus speaks of those parables.About weeds in the field.Jesus wants to emphasize,that it will never be pure church. Church whithout sinners,without scandals,without disputes. We have no right,to right to decide, who belongs to the kingdom of God and who does not. Only God can decide on it. And he will decide on it at the end of time.
Sermon
In the parable of the mustard grain Jesus points out that a church will be formed.The church will first have few members, but later grows a large tree. By this parable Jesus will to say,that There will be worldly one. It will be the church of the people and not angels. Even after the founding of the church in the world,evil remains and the church must come to terms with this fact.Only in such environment does Jesus teaching and his disciples prove itself. Only in this case can they show Jesus scholars their love. If Jesus told the parable of the weeds in the field today, his parable would look different. Today we deal with weeds differently than in the past. The plane will dust the field and if the dust is h armfull to people the agronomist will put up labels. The weeds will be destroyed. But what applies in agriculture does not apply in the church.Yes, when the church had the power arose the zealots, who wanted to uproat weeds,so that they destroy bad people. Jesus says. Wait. You must have patience with yours mistakes and with the mistakes of other people. It is easier to see weeds in other’s than in ourselves. Not only wheat but also weeds grow in our soul.But anyone can get better.Pluck weeds from your soul.Jesus gives us time for whole life. Until grain harvest.There is nothing we can do there. There will only be sorting; to the barn or to the fire. Prayers and s upplications mean that we still lack something.Thanks and praise are a sign, that we are not far from the goal. Our future life will be pure praise and clarity.Of course in the church today is not ideal for every think .However,it would be a mistake to see only evil, weeds everywhere. Such a view would not be right.There is also a lot of good, many pure wheat, in the church. Let us be sure of the way of Jesus, problem solving is better, than a a way of solving various radical parties ,which by their solution create only new problems.
