Jesus reveals the parable of the tares of the field to His disciples after He sent the multitude away.
The man who sows the good seed in the field: Son of Man - Jesus
The field: the world
Good seeds: sons of the kingdom
Tares: sons of the wicked one
The enemy who sowed them: the devil
The harvest: end Of this age
The reapers: the Angels
At the end the angels are going to sort between the tares and the good seed
The tares: gathered and burned up in the fire, those that offend and practice lawlessness, cast in the furnace of fire: wailing and gnashing of teeth
The good seed: righteous shining forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father
Conclusion: those who have ears listen!
Application:
Celebrate being in His kingdom...
Also I don't need to concentrate on who are the tares vs who is the wheat. That's not my judgement call to make. Christ knows the heart and He will send His angels out at the end to separate them out. My job is to love those around me and point them to His truth. And pray for those that need Him. He has given me so much opportunity to love. Thank You for that. And thank You for Your truth and Your Spirit.
