  7. The Dragnet Matt 13:47-50 TheApplication • Jesus says this is how it will be at the “end of the age” (judgment)v. 49 • The wicked will be eventually removed from the kingdom Ù a “purging” • Application is different than from the Tares Parable (focus was on the world)

  8. The Dragnet Matt 13:47-50 TheApplication • The “ideal” was emphasized in the previous 2 parables vv. 44-46 • Sadly, that is not reality • Many come to the kingdom with less than full devotion

  10. The Dragnet Matt 13:47-50 TheApplication • Many come to the kingdom with less than full devotion • True in our own day • Local churches struggle with members who are caught up in worldliness, pride, carnal thinking, etc.

  11. The Dragnet Matt 13:47-50 TheApplication • The parable does not address situations where disciples are momentarily caught up in weaknesses & are overcome • The parable addresses disciples who persist in worldly living after coming to the heavenly kingdom

  14. The Dragnet Matt 13:47-50 TheLesson • Have I come to the kingdom with a totally devoted heart? • Am I the type of disciple that will eventually be removed from the kingdom?
