Drawing in the Net

But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation.
The parable draws the analogies between the natural human behaviour to the Heavenly and Godly. So fishing was a very common business in those days. The net represents the measuring or judgemental scale. casting into the sea is casting into the world.
Psalm 23:4
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Matthew 13:47-50
King James Version (KJV)
47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
This parable appears only in the gospel of Matthew. The parable speaks mainly about the good and bad at the end of the world. Ephesians 1:4 says For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love.
Paul also urges us to be Holy and without blemish:
Colossians 1:22 NIVBut now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation.
The parable draws the analogies between the natural human behaviour to the Heavenly and Godly. So fishing was a very common business in those days. The net represents the measuring or judgemental scale. casting into the sea is casting into the world.
Psalm 23:4
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
