Matt. 13

Jesus referred to the process of life whereby a farmer left his weeds grow among his wheat. He valued the wheat so much that he dare not cut down a weed for fear of damaging the precious wheat. The weeds (tares in the King James) was allowed to remain living until the day of harvest where they were all bundled together and thrown into a big fire.

We live in a world where evil abounds all around us. Often, it seems as though evil is getting more evil, yet we strive to become more holy and given to God’s purposes. God allows us to coexist … until His judgement.

When I hear of the fiery furnace prepared for the weeds, I keep remembering my “blue light” treatment mentioned back in December. “There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth,” is merely a way to describe the torture that will be experienced for an eternity by those who reject Christ.

It’s good to be a wheat.
