“The Wheat and the Tares”
Matthew 13:24-30; Matthew 13:36-43
Cliff Blair
In the parable of the wheat and the tares, Jesus illustrates that the kingdom of God grows in a world where good and evil coexist until the final judgment. Though the enemy has sown corruption among the people of God, Christ calls His church not to eradicate or isolate, but to labor with patience, hope, and confidence in the coming harvest.
