"THE TARE THAT JESUS DESCRIBED IN THIS PARABLE WAS ALSO KNOWN AS THE DARNEL SEED, WHICH LOOKS ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE WHEAT IN THE BEGINNING STAGES OF ITS GROWTH. BUT AFTER IT GROWS A LITTLE MORE, IT BECOMES EVIDENT THAT IT IS A WEED, AND IT ACTUALLY UPROOTS THE WHEAT." -GREG LAURIE; 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 & WENT HIS WAY. BUT WHEN THE GRAIN HAD SPROUTED & 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 & 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. -MATT 24:24-30; Post by Tigger & Willy w/ additions of i.ytimg.com pic
