Finding the Blessings Among the Weeds

Saint Walter Church - Coping With Jesus

Eve Rossi and Beth Sommers join Julie Majovsky today as we look at the parable of the wheat among the weeds.
Matthew 13: 24-30
The Parable of the Weeds Among the Wheat

He proposed another parable to them.* “The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field. While everyone was asleep his enemy came and sowed weeds* all through the wheat, and then went off.

When the crop grew and bore fruit, the weeds appeared as well. The slaves of the householder came to him and said, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where have the weeds come from?’

He answered, ‘An enemy has done this.’ His slaves said to him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’ He replied, ‘No, if you pull up the weeds you might uproot the wheat along with them. Let them grow together until harvest;* then at harvest time I will say to the harvesters, “First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles for burning; but gather the wheat into my barn.”
