Lesson 5135

 (Lesson 5135)(02-22-26) Matthew 13:24-30 

   “Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.” 

 

   In today’s quote, the parable Jesus used, illustrates that while the "children of the kingdom" and the "children of the evil one" must live together in this world, God, the master farmer, allowed them to grow together until the final harvest, which is the judgment, to ensure no true believer is harmed in the process of weeding out Satan and His angels. ~
