Parable of the weeds
July 10, 2017
Jesus spoke in parables using ordinary examples we relate to teaching important truths. In Matthew 13, he tells the parable of the weeds. A man sowed good seed and an enemy scattered in weeds. His servants wanted to pull out the weeds. “No” was the answer. You’ll pull out the wheat also.
I look at my jungle garden and its similar mix. A strange mixture of my wildly beautiful favorites compete for face time in the sun with weeds that are seemingly unstoppable. A few of my delicately fragile favorites can’t seem to thrive in this jungle. One particular invasive weed is doing well.
Thankfully God’s truths will be the final solution. We’ll be gathered safely to him, no longer part of this jungle.
