At our cell held on Friday, our topic for discussion was on the Parable of the wheat and the tares. (Matt. 13: 24-30 & 36-43)
In the world and in the church there are the wheat and tares - genuine and counterfeits. The counterfeits are planted by Satan who is hostile to God. We are told in the story that an enemy has done this, that is sowing the tares among the wheat. You cannot tell the difference between wheat and tares. They cannot be separated when both are growing.
We should not judge another person. "Do not judge or you too will be judge," says our Lord to us. Leave judgement to God. Patience – God doesn’t rush to judgment but waits until the fruit shows. Neither should we judge these people but pray for them.
The day will come when God will gather up all the tares and burn them.
In the meantime, let us draw near to God, keep in close touch with Him and listen to what He tells us to do. Trust and obey for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
