The Wheat and the Tares - The Field Where Wheat and Weeds Grow Together

Tonight we walk into a real field with real soil, and two kinds of seed planted side by side. This is the parable of the wheat and the tares, told by Jesus in Matthew chapter thirteen, and it is one of the most honest parables He ever spoke. It says instead that evil and good grow together, and only God, in His own time, will sort them.

If you have ever wondered why good people suffer, why the wicked seem to prosper, why injustice still has a loud voice — this parable speaks directly to that ache.

A man sows good seed in his field, but while everyone is sleeping, his enemy comes and sows weeds among the wheat. The weeds look almost identical to wheat until the heads form. The servants ask if they should pull them up. The master says no — pulling the weeds now would tear up the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest.

Then Jesus explains privately. The sower is the Son of Man. The field is the world. The good seed is the children of the kingdom. The weeds are the children of the evil one. The harvest is the end of the age. The reapers are angels.
