Tares and Wheat

One man's analogy of the Biblical Tares and Wheat parable.

     In the beginning God gave all of us a garden of our own with explicit instructions thereof. That garden we plant as we live our lives has a lot to do with what we are planting a d what the outcome of the harvest. We should want to reap what we sow for a good harvest; but for it to be bountiful with good results we must be cautious of those seeds we originally put in the ground. The Parable of the Tares Among the Wheat is found in the book of Matthew 13: 24-30. In it, Jesus says that  the Kingdom of Heaven can be compared to a man who sowed good seeds in his garden, but while asleep at night his enemy  came and sowed seeds among the wheat and left! Suffice it to say, the parable was symbolic of Jesus remarking that when the plants appear and bear grain, weeds will also appear. There’s a message here: When an adversary is allowed to trespass in your area of influence and responsibility, their intent is to wreak havoc. Reaping what you sow should not go unheeded. I’ve always felt that it is a Kingdom principle where what you sow into people or situations is what you should expect getting returns on. If I plant tomatoes, I should not expect cucumbers. No farmer am I, but discernible options and deductive reasoning gives me insight that seeding and harvest are twofold. What you sow into others and what you allow to be sown into you has ways of determining the final fruit of your labor. What then, is the moral of this piece? Knowing who are tares and who are the choice wheat are important in determining particulars about your disposition for an agreeable environment affecting growth. Could this parable be just another allegory where Jesus wanted to make a point on patience? The Sower would not have noticed what the enemy had done until the plants began to grow  and produce grain. The workers are given the explanation that an enemy must have somehow planted weeds. If you read the Scripture it’s not hard to ascertain that the Sower is Jesus and the Enemy is the Devil. The good seed represents people who listen to and respond to God’s Word.

    These are the folk that belong to the Kingdom of God, and who will go to Heaven. On the other hand, the weeds are representative of those who are evil and despicable whose place will be the fiery furnace of hell. The workers in the field are angels and the harvest is of time. Ultimately, does it mean that on Earth, good and bad people will grow and live together until Judgment Time when all people will be separated into eternal destiny. Tares and wheat…were they destined to be together?
