The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares
Listen to this: My kingdom is like a field of wheat. The wheat represents My faithful followers, planted and growing strong. But the enemy has sown tares—those who oppose My work—among the wheat.
Why the Wheat and Tares Grow Together
For now, the wheat and tares must grow side by side. If you try to uproot the tares too soon, you might harm the wheat. But when the harvest comes, the tares will be gathered and burned, and the wheat will be safely gathered into My barns.
The Role of My Servants
You are the laborers in My field. Your job is to nurture the wheat—strengthen My faithful, share My gospel, and help My people grow. When the time comes, I’ll send My angels to separate the wheat from the tares.
My Work Moves Forward
The priesthood and My gospel were restored to prepare the earth for My return. You are part of this great work, carrying the light of truth to every nation. Be diligent, and don’t let the tares discourage you.
A Promise to the Faithful
If you stay faithful and live My commandments, you’ll be gathered into My kingdom when the harvest is ready. Trust in My timing, and know that I’m in control. Your reward will be eternal joy and peace.
