Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses the parable of the wheat and tares found in Matthew 13. Jesus compares the kingdom of heaven to a field where good seed is sown but an enemy comes and sows tares among the wheat. When the servants ask the master if they should go and pull up the tares, the master replies to let both grow together lest the wheat be uprooted as well. Gregg explains that this parable reveals how the church should maintain its own purity but should not seek to eliminate sinners from the world. Ultimately, the tares will be gathered and destroyed, and the righteous will shine forth in the kingdom.
