Parable of the Wheat and Weeds Explained
37 Jesus replied, “The Son of Man is the farmer who plants the good seed. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed represents the people of the Kingdom. The weeds are the people who belong to the evil one. 39 The enemy who planted the weeds among the wheat is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world, and the harvesters are the angels.
40 “Just as the weeds are sorted out and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the world. 41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will remove from his Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42 And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s Kingdom. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!
Read Matthew 13:24-52 for the full context of this lesson.
There will be a separation of the wheat from the tares … sheep and goats … good and evil … in the last days. When Jesus Christ returns to set up His Millennial Kingdom, evil and its agents will be removed and the righteous will remain. The time to prepare is now. In that day (no one knows when that will be), it will be too late to change sides.
Choose today to be among the righteous. Make Jesus your choice. “Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!”
