The parable of the Wheat and Tares

[golfjack]

1. The sower of the good seed is the Son of Man, the Lord Jesus Christ ( Matt. 13:24, 37).
2. The field is the world ( Matt. 13: 24, 38). While here on earth He sowed the good seed in person; but before ascending into heaven, He commissioned His Church to proclaim the gospel to every person in every nation ( Matt. 28: 19, 20).
3. The good seed in this parable is not the gospel, but rather the children of the Kingdom. He began to sow ( scatter) the good seed ( the children of God) first in Jerusalem, then in Judea and Samaria; and He continues to scatter His Children among all parts of the world. The good seed, as they are sown, are to share their faith with that part of the world in which they have been scattered ( Acts 1:8; 8:1-4).
4. The tares are the sons of the wicked one, Satan ( Matt. 13:25, 38). Jesus said to the unsaved religious leaders in His day, you are of your farther the devil ( John 8:44). Where Jesus sends His children, Satan also send his. You will find in most churches children of God and children of the devil ( Matt. 7:21-23).
5. The enemy that sowed the tares is the devil.
6. The harvest is the end of the age ( Matt. 13: 30, 39). Christ's second coming will conclude this age. He will send His angels to reap the harvest and separate the wheat from the tares. He will rapture the wheat, the children of the kingdom, and turn the tares, the children of satan. The children of the Devil will be cast into the furnace of fire ( hell), while the children of God will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father ( Matt. 13: 30, 40-43; Rev. 20:15).
