Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father
Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him ear.
To fully appreciate this promise, look at the verses preceding it. Jesus had just explained the parable of the weeds to His disciples.
That was the parable in which a man’s enemy stole into his field and sowed weeds among the good seed.
The man advised his workers not to pull the weeds but to let them grow along with the wheat; at the harvest, his workers would burn the weeds and take the wheat into the man’s barn.
The disciples needed an explanation even though they had ears to hear. The sower, Jesus said, was the Son of Man himself, of course.
The good seed represented believers; the weeds, unbelievers; the enemy, the devil; the harvest, the end of age.
At the harvest, the angels will weed out those who do evil and throw them into the fire. And then we come to the promise: the believers, whose righteousness the prevalence of sin in the world has obscured, will shine like the sun in the kingdom of God the Father.
That’s what our glorious future looks like. Death, which seems always to be depicted amid an atmosphere of doom and gloom, will not be shrouded in darkness for us.
Instead we will experience honor as we are brought before the throne of God, reflecting His brilliance, His radiance, His glory.
It’s only by the grace of God that He can consider any of us good seed. Much of the time, we feel more like pesky weeds than beneficial wheat.
We just hope and pray that God’s angels will be able to distinguish us from the real weeds.
And of course they will.
They will see the unmistakable hand of the Sower on us, and they will usher us into the kingdom where somehow God will cause us to shine like the sun.
Lord, thank You for promising to rescue me from the fire that I surely deserve. Let me continue to have ears that hear what You are saying to me, so that I may walk in obedience to You untill that glorious day of harvest.
In Jesus name
