What kind of blaze are you???

Matthew 13:37-43 He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear. 
As Jesus explains the parable of the seeds and the weeds, each one is described not only in their lives here and now, but also in their ultimate state, after the judgment.  The weeds will blaze in eternal fire, suffering eternal separation from God, while the seed, those who live for the King, will blaze in a shining light that brings glory to God.  May our light shine here as well, so others will shine with us.
