The Gospels present not only the life and teachings of Jesus but also profound insights into God's kingdom and eternal purposes.

Jesus often used parables to reveal deep spiritual truths, inviting His listeners—and us—to reflect on life, faith, and eternity. The imagery of the net gathering fish symbolizes how the kingdom of heaven gathers all people, but a decisive separation follows, illustrating God’s justice and holiness. Understanding this helps believers live with intentionality and hope, embracing God’s mercy while recognizing His righteous judgment.
