“Tares”

Blessings Folk!

Today’s reading:

Matthew 13:24-30

Another parable from the Lord explaining the Kingdom of Heaven.

A vivid portrayal of much of what occurs in the organizational church today.

The true church, the organism, the Body of Christ, consist of those truly saved.

The organizational church consist of the saved and those who are simply religious at best.

The true church - the wheat.
The false church - the tare.

Jesus lets us know that there will be tares among us.
He will judge.

Our responsibility?
  • to speak truth
  • to manifest the Love and Presence of God
  • to stand firm
  • to allow the Lord to reap and judge
  • to not allow the tares to destroy the Kingdom, knowing that God will deal out retribution

Wheat?
Tare?
Which are you?
