A Net Full of Good and Bad

The Parable of the Net sets forth in a fishing picture the great end of Christ's visible kingdom on earth. The two principle parts of the parable are 1) The church, like a net full of every kind of fish, contains the good and the bad; the righteous and the wicked; 2) At the final resurrection and judgment, Christ will make a separation between those who are "just" and those who are wicked.
