And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, Sir, you sowed good seed in your field, didn't you? How then does it have weeds? And he said to them, An enemy has done this. So the servants said to him, Then do you want us to go and collect them, the weeds? But he said, No, don't do that. Because in collecting the weeds, you might uproot the wheat along with them. Let them both grow together until the harvest. And at harvest time, I will say to the harvesters, First collect the weeds and bind them in bundles to be burned. Gather the wheat into my barn. He put another parable before them, saying, The rule and reign of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field, a mustard seed, which on the one hand is the smallest of all the seeds, but on the other hand, when it has grown, it is greater than all the garden plants and becomes a tree so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches. …

… What an honor. I'll be sharing today from the parable of the seed in Matthew chapter 13, verses 24 through 30. Now, this is not the parable that's normally called the parable of the seeds. The parable of the seeds we hear more about is actually the parable of the soils. Because Jesus taught these parables, he would go out and he would give a teaching. On one level it would sound simple, but you reflect on it and you pray about it, and it It really helps you to see what the kingdom of God is like, and it helps you to see what you're like. One of those parables that has helped me so much through the year… He talks about a seed that was sown in four different places. One was sown on rocky soil, so because the soil was too rocky, the bird came and snatched it up. That seed got snatched, so it didn't do what it was supposed to do. Then there was one seed that was sown in a place where it was scorched by the sun, which represents the trials of life. Since it didn't have a root or a foundation, the sun was too strong for it, and it got cooked up before it could come forth. I said it got cooked up before it could come forth. Some promises God speaks to you… The sun, the affliction, the heat of trial, it tests that seed before it has had the chance to develop, and you don't pass the test. …
… But while everyone was asleep, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and then went away. So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared as well. And the servants of the householder came and said to him, Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where then did these weeds come from? He answered, an enemy has done this. The servant said to him, then, do you want us to go and gather them? But he replied, no. For in gathering the weeds, you would uproot the wheat along with them. Let both of them grow together until the harvest. And at harvest time, I will tell the reapers, collect the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned. But gather the wheat into my barn. This is the word of God for you, the people of God. Thanks be to God. For obvious reasons, today's passage from the good book is known as the parable of the wheat and the weeds. …
