Crops and Weeds
September 27, 2018
I recently heard a great message on the weeds and wheat in Matthew 13: 24–30. Jesus was giving his followers a description of this world before He would come again. A field, weeds, and wheat. The field, this is God’s world though often it neither looks, acts, or feels that way. The weeds are those who reject Him, even though it is His field. For those of us who are wheat, we’ve chosen to be Christ followers, and we’d prefer not to be choked by weeds, even be near them.
Not so, my friend. Jesus, in the story, tells the harvesters wait. Let them grow together until harvest time.
Reminder. Its God’s field and He is rich in grace and mercy.
