Church Symbol: Net/The Drag Net

Matthew 13:47-51 KJV
[47] Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
[48] Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
[49] So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
[50] And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
[51] Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto Him, Yea, Lord.

What is this,"Net," that Jesus was referring to?
The NET is the preaching of the cross of Jesus Christ, (The Gospel).
Salvation through His Name Alone!

Acts 4:12 KJV
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."

Acts 4:12 NLT
"There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. (The name of the Lord Jesus Christ, God's Son.)”

I Corinthians 3:11 KJV
"For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ."

John 14:6 KJV
"Jesus saith unto him (Thomas), I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 14:6 NLT
"Jesus told him (Thomas), “I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life.
No one can come to the Father except through Me."

John 8:24 KJV
"I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins."

John 3:14-18 KJV
[14] And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
[15] That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
[16] For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
[17] For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
[18] He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the Name of the Only Begotten Son of God.

I Corinthians 1:18-31 KJV
[18] For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
[19] For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
[20] Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
[21] For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
[22] For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
[23] But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
[24] But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
[25] Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
[26] For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
[27] But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
[28] And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
[29] That no flesh should glory in His presence.
[30] But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us Wisdom, and Righteousness, and Sanctification, and Redemption:
[31] That, according as it is written, he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Do you know the Precious Lord Jesus?
Is He your Saviour?
He loves you and gave His life for you.
