WHILE MEN SLEPT, THE ENEMY SOWED TARES Matthew 13:25

There are two kinds of believers, the Wheat and then the Tares which are amoung the Wheat. Tares appears to be “the real thing”, but can be very poisonous to interact with as it will contaminate the mind and pure faith of the True Believer in YaHUsha Messiah.

INIQUITIES LIKE A HEAVY BURDEN

Ps. 38:4  For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. 

One of the first things we noticed in Palestine, and we could scarcely believe our eyes, was the enormous loads carried by the porter or “atal”.

You can scarcely understand unless you have seen these burdens yourself. We have several times seen a single porter carry an ordinary piano on his back for quite a distance.  His piled up burden very often extends far beyond his head. After the burden has been placed on the porter’s back, he cannot easily lay it down until he has reached his destination.

When he becomes desperately weary and must have a little rest, he calls a wayfarer, and the latter just stoops down under the load for a few minutes, takes the weight of the burden from the weary porter, and gives him a short rest.

This is what Galatians 6:2 means …

“Bear ye one another’s burdens …”

In the same chapter and the fifth verse we read …

“… for every man shall bear his own burden.”

That sounds like a contradiction, but not so.

In our Greek Testament in verse two we have the word “baros”, meaning the very heavy burden like the porter carries; in verse five we have this word “phortion”, the light burden that any person might carry in his hand.

The Word of God is telling us that Christians must be ready to get under another’s heavy load and give him a little rest, he must not throw his own lawful burdens upon others, he must carry the light ones alone.

GO DOWN TO THE POTTER’S HOUSE Jeremiah 18:3 – 4

What is the “Vessel of honor”? Well, let us go back to the pottery and ask to buy a vessel. The potter will ask, “Do you want to carry it to the fountain? Then you must bear a vessel of honor”. In Jeremiah 22:28 we read of a vessel called “empty of pleasure.” This is the vessel beside the vessel of honor on the bench.
