1. Old Testament MetaphorsUtilized by Prophets

human beings frustrate God’s
redemptive purpose, God eventuallyreleases them to the consequences

2. Christ’s Metaphor Matthew 13:24-30: Wheat and Tares
True discipleship places condemnationin the hands of the Master, not thoseof the disciple. God alone possesses
faultless understanding.Satanic infiltration does happen.Disciples cannot surrender theirdiscernment to other professed
believers because these believers may
be weeds, not wheat.

righteousness (not our own), giventhe assurance of eternal life, and
offered the Holy Spirit.It is easy, however, to forget all that
we have, to take it for granted, or to
even scoff at it.
