The Harvest Belongs to the Lord
36 Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.” 37 He answered, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed is the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. 40 Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers, 42 and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

The Harvest Belongs to the Lord
The world is a field in which wheat and weeds grow together. Christ teaches us that the presence of evil among His people should not surprise us. The devil is at work, sowing deception and leading many away from the truth. Yet our Lord does not abandon His field. The separation of wheat and weeds belongs to the final judgment, not to the present age. We are not called to take the place of the Judge. Christ Himself will come again, and all things will be brought into the light. Until that day, we live by faith in the One who was counted among sinners and bore their judgment upon the cross. There, Christ conquered sin, death, and the devil. His kingdom continues through the preaching of His Word, gathering His own. Take heart. The harvest belongs to Christ. His wheat will not be lost.
