Weeds Among The Wheat

Mar 23, 2025    Seth Hankee

In Matthew 13:24-30, Jesus tells the Parable of the Weeds, where a man sows good seed in his field, but an enemy later sows weeds among it. When the weeds are noticed, the workers ask if they should pull them up, but the man advises to let both grow until the harvest. At harvest, the weeds will be burned, and the wheat collected. The parable highlights that the kingdom of God surrounds us, even as we live among the weeds of this world. God wants us to stay committed to Him and live faithfully, despite the messiness around us.
