The Parable Of The Wheat And The Tares

The Parable Of The Wheat And The Tares (Matthew 13:24-30)

Another Parable He (Jesus Christ) put forth to them, saying: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.  But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared.  So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did YOU NOT sow good seed in your field?  How then does it have tares?’  He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’  The servants said to him, ‘Do YOU want us then to go and gather them up?’  But he said, ‘No, lest while YOU gather up the tares YOU also uproot the wheat with them.  Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”

The Parable Of The Tares Explained (Matthew 13:36-43)

Then Jesus (Jesus Christ) sent the multitude away and went into the house.  And His (Jesus Christ’s) Disciples came to Him (Jesus Christ), saying, “Explain to Us (Jesus’ Disciples), The Parable of The Tares of The Field.”  He (Jesus Christ) answered and said to Them (Jesus’ Disciples): “He (Jesus Christ) who sows The Good Seed (Believers) is The Son of Man (Jesus Christ).  The Field is the World, The Good Seeds (Believers) are The Sons (Believers) of The Kingdom (The Kingdom of God Almighty), but the tares (Unbelievers) are the sons (Unbelievers) of the wicked one (the devil).  The enemy (the devil) who sowed them (Unbelievers) is the devil, The Harvest is The End of The Age, and The Reapers are The Angels (God Almighty’s Holy Angels).  Therefore as the tares (Unbelievers) are gathered and burned in The Fire, so it will be at The End of This Age.  The Son of Man (Jesus Christ) will send out His (Jesus Christ’s) Angels, and They will gather out of His (Jesus Christ’s) Kingdom all things that offend, and those (Unbelievers) who practice lawlessness, and will cast them (Unbelievers) into The Furnace of Fire.  There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.  Then The Righteous (Believers) will shine forth, as the Sun in The Kingdom of Their (Believers) Father (God Almighty).  He (Believers) who has ears to hear, let him (Believers) hear!

Fellow Believers, with this simple Parable and explanation, Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, tells EVERYONE (Believers, Yet-To-Be-Believers, and Unbelievers) what WILL occur, at The End of The Age.  Those (Believers) who acknowledge God’s Amazing Saving Grace AND accept God’s Free Gift of Salvation, welcoming Jesus Christ, as their (Believers) personal Lord and Savior, are The Sons (Believers) of The Kingdom of God Almighty!  Unfortunately, those (Unbelievers) who reject God’s Amazing Saving Grace AND refuse to accept God’s Free Gift of Salvation, will be Forever separated from God’s Immediate Presence!

Let’s see, to be in God’s Immediate Presence, Forever, OR to be separated from God’s Immediate Presence, Forever, which do YOU choose?
