Be the Wheat
Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43

Weeds are a threat to wheat and every other crop. In Matthew 13:24-30, Jesus tells a parable comparing the kingdom of heaven to a field where a farmer sowed good seed. An enemy comes in the night and sows weeds among the wheat. When the plants come up, the workers recognize the weeds and offer to pull them. The farmer says no, because in pulling up the weeds they would uproot the wheat along with them. Leave them until harvest time; the weeds will be dealt with then.
Jesus interprets the parable in 13:36-43. The farmer is Jesus, the field is the world, and the good seed are the children of the kingdom. The weeds are the children of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil.
Pulling up weeds, according to Jesus, is not part of our job description. The farmer will see to the weeds. What then is our responsibility?
