2 | Are the wheat and tare in the church | Matt 13:24 | Reformer Joe | 38419 | ||
Jesus explains the parable in Matthew 13:36-43. Here is what we have: Jesus is the Sower of good seed (v. 37). The good seed itself are the redeemed, the Christians (v.38) The weeds are the children of the devil, the unregenerate, those who do not embrace Christ (v.38) The field itself is the world (v. 38) The devil is the enemy (shocking, i know! -- v. 39). Even though the field does not represent the church only, I think it is safe to say that some of those in the visible church are actually tares. Remember that in the parable both were allowed to grow together until the harvest (the judgment), and we also know that there are false brethren and those who do not truly follow Christ. In case you are worried about yourself being a "tare," remember that all those who truly are trusting in Christ's sinless life and substitutionary death and resurrection are among the "wheat.' Most of the time Jesus explains His parables to his disciples shortly after telling them. Such is the case in Matthew 13. --Joe! |
