Matthew 13:40-43
“As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of the Father. He who has ears, let him hear.”
Reflection
In this passage Jesus explains his parable of the wheat and the weeds. He explains that there will be good and bad in his kingdom and through his judgment he will divide between the good and the bad. It is clear that he reserves the responsibility of judgment for himself.
What happens whenever we try to become the judge?
