The parable of the net in Matthew 13 speaks about the end of the age, when Jesus comes again and we will be judged according to the decisions we have made in this life.

Have you ever found yourself whispering or perhaps even shouting "Lord, if your kingdom is here, why does it seem like the enemy is winning?
