Matthew 13:47-49- "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad. Matthew 13:49 So it will be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous...-
This is just one of the many illustrations that Jesus used to describe the kingdom of heaven in the book of Matthew. The world is described as a sea, and the people in the world are described as fishes caught in a net, who will be sorted out on the last day. Jesus will take those who are his into the kingdom of heaven, and cast away those who are not. He promises that anyone who wants can be included in the kingdom of heaven in his word in John 6:37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. We all need to know Christ as our Savior and ask God to be included with the "good fish", because he is going to catch us in his net and we will be sorted with one group or the other. What About Jesus?
