Matthew 13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
The natural response of the human agent would be to root out the tares, but Christ issued a warning against this desire, for man looks on the outward appearance, whereas God looks on the heart. If God allows us to pull up the tares it’s inevitable that very grave mistakes would be thus made, for there are persons who look like wheat, but in their heart of hearts, they may be tares, only God alone knows.
If anyone of us had heard Peter carrying on, and speaking the way he did, at the judgment hall, we most likely would’ve labeled him a tare, and would have uprooted him from the church, and we would have had scripture to “apparently” back us up.
This is the reason why Christ cautioned any person against uprooting what we may believe to be tares, for Peter went on to be thoroughly converted, he wrote in the Bible, he preached, he laid down his life for Jesus, and his name will be engraved on one of the foundations of the new Jerusalem.
Matthew 13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
