The Parable of The Wheat and Tares

the fifteenth chapter of the Gospel according to Matthew I am certain that that is correct the fifteenth chapter of the Gospel according to Matthew and why are you standing we're going to take a look at the 24th verse and I shan't be long I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to truncate this phrase the name of Jesus try and cheat Shawn came in trade show truncate me so we I'm going to try and keep this because it could get long Matthew the fifteenth chapter and the 24th verse and I'm going to ask in the presence of God that we read collectively verse 24 through verse number 30 those who have that will say Amen let's read together read but why Vince left all right now there now then now then now then you are reading correctly you're reading directly but what I really wanted to reach was the 13 second the 14th chapter and verse number 24 the 13 chapter 8 verse 124 that one doesn't I read like I wanted to read the thirteenth chapter and verse number 24 is what I wanted to read and we will read down through verse number 30 by the thirteenth chapter let me look at this before I you start really again that's the one the thirteenth chapter and verse 24 and we're going to read all the way down to verse number 30 now be in the presence of God Almighty let us read together read another parable put forth unto them saying the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in this field is it in this case and with his way but while the blade was sprung up and brought forth the fruit then appeared that the tour is also so the service of the householder came and said unto him says didn't bow I never have done this without them that we go and gather them up that's why you develop the tears until the harvest and in the time and harvest I will say to the river board them will gather the wheat into my bones that is the parable of the wheat and the tares it's important that we say a word about this parable and make it practical to all of those of you who have come [Music] look at your neighbor and say neighbor the parable of the roots and you maybe see a wonderful terrible a wonderful power now to be of course is the day that our young men or in charge of our worship service on the on the fourth Sunday and I want to say a word to them and and then generally say a word to all of the adults who are who are in the house with regards to this parable of Jesus in the thirteenth chapter of the book of Matthew I know that you have read this before and you have heard it before I don't know how you have heard it but I know you have heard this before the parable of the wheat and the tale the week and but now the tears of course is a foreign weed or a foreign flower that grows contradictory to the weak a tear is opposite of the wheat but the tears are not beneficial to flee you don't put tares and wheat together because tears will damage your wheat crop you make sure that those who form be sure and keep the tears away from the weak because it will negatively affect not we this is what did not happen in this parable now let's look at the 24th verse and I'm going to go as far as I can go in the time that's allotted and do the rest tonight because there are some important things in here particularly when you get down to verse number 30 let both grow together until the harvest and at 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 ball a very very powerful message about the bundles about the bond what did Jesus mean when he said that the angels will bind them in bundles and of course the skin the in the story now with your Bibles will read and we have read another parable put he forth unto them saying the kingdom of heaven is likened his locker his life and maybe you want to highlight that is likened unto a man and which sold good seed in his field rockin now he is an instant that you don't find in the New Testament very much and then he is here we find Jesus the Christ Jesus the the Messiah Jesus be majestic son of God Jesus he who died on the old rugged cross Jesus who is the son of God without doubt excellent Union Scripture Jesus is executing scripture there Atlantic did Jesus exegete Scripture but here in this instance we find him exiting and that is explaining what he has said that is going back over it and taking it from word taking it word for word Jesus and explaining it we call that executed the story now in the thirty some-odd verse when the 36 verse the 36 verse which enforces the same story he explained the tears he this is Jesus doing this and let me show you my point then Jesus said they multitude away and the wedding to the house and his disciples came unto Him in other words Jesus was talk into a multitude of people and what he did was he gave them a parable of the kingdom of God and after giving them the parable of the kingdom of God the Bible says that he went into a house multitude gold he went into the house a house and his disciples was with him and the Bible says in verse 37 verse 36 then jesus said the multitude away and went into the house and his disciples came unto him saying declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field in other words we heard you talking to these people out here about the tares in the field and we heard you talking about the week we heard you talking about the tares the enemies would come and they were plant tears in among among the week we heard talking about that and you said this was like unto the kingdom of God we heard you up man doing that and so men are weak in the house and the month and you have sent the multitude away now that you're in the house Lord that is what we want you to do explain to us what she meant of it explain to us the meaning of the word out there this business of the kingdom of God and how that this week and found that this planning is indigenous or indicative of the kingdom of God how is it lack the kingdom of God they had him not in private and so they're asking him of a simple and irrational question in verse 37 and he answered and said unto them he that soweth the good seed is the son of man now he exegete and their rally and this is unusual do we catch Jesus explaining himself but this is called executing the passage executing the message he's already explained it out here and now be disciples then we did what understanding we need some more clarity on this so Jesus then begins to exegete and explain down to the detail of what he meant about the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man who sold wheat seeds and then the Bible says in verse 37 watch what he does now he answered and said unto them he that soweth the good seed is the son of man in other words I told you over here in verse number 24 another parable put he forth unto them saying the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man well the disciples are we talking about what do you mean lacking unto him a jesus hope is lacking unto a man which sowed good seed in the field now would you go to brunch time a 37 he explains what he's talkin about he said he answered and said unto them he does say that this is all away and otherwise he gave them a parable a parable is a parabolic and go that's redundant say but it's it's it's talking about something that your audience is familiar with that they might understand what they are not familiar with that's giving your audience an example on what they are familiar with so they can and could better understand what you are saying about that which they are not familiar with and so he says when he says a lot that's what are you saying in other words he's saying now you all understand this business of of seed time and harvest you understand that and he says now I want to tell you about the kingdom now you're all inspired about the kingdom but what you do understand is about planning and harvesting so I'm giving you a parable and he says now be the man who were doing the planting here yes in a sedative em I'm in verse 37 he that soweth the good seed is the son of God the man that we're not sowing seeds as I told the audience that minute and the parable is me I and so it was he doing is he's breaking it down and making it plain so his folk are his people will understand of the field now watch what he does he's exogeni and this is unusual for Jesus it's very unusual I mean what he has said he I say it but what he's doing here is he is taking this part well apart and he is simplifying it he is breaking it down so everybody will understand now he says in verse number 38 ah the field is the world the femur is the world the good seed of the children of the kingdom but the tares are the children of the wicked woman we can watch and there it is there it is various the field is the world the good seed are the children of the kingdom but the tares are the children of the wicked one and he's breaking that thing down he's breaking it down now I want you to see it I don't want to borrow your mind for just a few moments so you will be clear on this because there was powerful S&T powerfullest and he says the enemy that sowed them is the devil so he's breaking it down every facet of this part of this parable he's breaking it down he is saying the enemy that sowed them is the devil the harvest is the end of the world there's no reason we misunderstand his power he's talking about the end time you talk about the interim you talk about the end of the world and he says ah the inhibitor sowed them is the devil the harvest is the end of the world and the Reapers are the Angels he's talking about the end time he's talking about what's going to happen at the end of the world and what he's talking about but he told them that he gave them that in a parable and then the Bible says verse 40 as therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire so shall it be in the end of the world so there's gonna be a fire in the end of the world I'm saying you did some powerful things in here now we can be nonchalant about this and and and and don't pay attention to it but there is going to be some fight at the end of the world and this fire is going to burn us and you're not going to burn up you're going to burn forever and the pain is not gonna move away you know sometimes I get used to it not this fact God is going to inflict pain on you those of us who sit and act like we are so important then we don't have time for good god god I said okay okay go ahead and impress people no matter it and make people think that you may be some great get Ibaka go ahead and make fun fact that you or somebody didn't just go ahead and interesting kid forward and then push the friend go ahead and it I'm impressed whomever just but just act like you somebody Jesus says the fire is coming and this is Jesus extra genius text Jesus is saying that the field is the world the good seed of the children of the kingdom but the tires on the children of the wicked one the enemy that sowed them is the devil the harvest at the end of the world and the Reapers are the Angels that's what's gonna happen on the end in the end time is more in this parable than just the weed in details what Jesus is telling us and this parable is that the end time is coming no that just people don't this kind of preaching because please don't bring this because preachers know that if you treat like I'm preaching for more come back because folk do not like me here bird knew what for one here is can you hook me up [Music] what I really need there but preachers a hooker is anybody in the church that can hook me up you know I'm an artist I'm a man I'm a mechanic I'm the bricklayer I'm whatever it is and I'm the specialism isn't it do you have anybody in your church the hell's a competition broke New York I don't want to be hearing about halo five when I will suggest for you but is much better to get hooked up with Jesus and miss the fire then Jesus and understand our trillions that the preaching the Word of God like the Apostles preached the Word of God where Jesus preached the word of dog is not in vain in this generation this dinner you see was happening with this generation not you not because you in church so I'm not talking about you but the majority of this generation that we have today did not grow up in church method grew up in church imagination grew up in church my generation had to go to change my generation Rick to Sunday School this one hard to sit there listen to the preaching whether you wanted to be there or not you had to be there because mama was there and as long as we had your picture and even featured no fire burns though and we went down into our cognitive them is all right and that was a role so you have to be a problem with this little issue with right and well that is marginal Israel is rated oh not that we don't do what we supposed to do but we know rightful role because we will burn up being tall rightful role we know right for me not that we do rightful role where we go right although the difference the difference is the better generation really don't know the difference between right and wrong hell in heaven and don't care that's different in this generation this generation in which we lived have no interest in hell they have more interest in woman they have no concept muscle I'm not in heaven or hell it didn't grow up in the church and those who grow up in the church have parables and become mature so it is that you the balls who could be expose to the teaching ability of God young Pope get explored because parlors Lord spoilers them and then mother will tell it all and even sometimes when you expose your children they spell go there's no why I understand all those dynamics but what Jesus is doing and I'm trying my best to get you interested in this parable and it's gonna take a little time to get it done but but this parable of the wheat of the time is much more powerful than what we have we have fought about miss Foley all the leaf and the tares and he says now the Internet has sowed them is the devil the harvest is the end of the world there is going to be an end to this world this world as we know it is going to in the young folk if you think that this is it and that's what will be there there's going to be into this world and it may be and it's okay to live in this world but you've got to understand this war is coming to an end sooner or later this world is going to have to give up and give in to God and you need one stomach and that's what this story is about it is so powerful I was looking at it last night and I'm saying all enemies and not only is Jesus the one that's doing the sewing but there was an enemy in the world and you you you don't know your mother your young fella listen there is an enemy in this world we call him a tear and there was a battle between the weak and the tear now Jesus says that the tears comes from a minute Jesus says that the weight is the good see he wants this you are sick the tears are there to disrupt the week which is the good see this world is my least favorite I'm dealing with one this morning and the other is the integrity of the scene good that's what this thing is about anybody's problem is about it's about the integrity of the sea now I don't want time to do this right man but Luke 8:11 tells us that the seed is the word of God and this story is about the P and the tears the tears is adult and resist that keeps the beat rolling like you suppose the goal and that could be your momma your Papa your wife your husband your teacher you're building your girlfriend your boyfriend your dog properly that's the tale but that's outstanding about this parable is the integrity of the scene you're going to find that as we move forward the integrity of the scene and this fall is about the scene is about other things as well but it's about the integrity of the see that is the seed that's in the week and then he says are the enemy that sowed them is the devil everyone for everyone young more than 16 17 18 19 whatever it is is the devil will bring you some tears and you have to know the difference between the wheat and the tares so many mom yummy so many million dollar contracts for the billion dollar contracts basketball contract football contract and truck the contracts all counterculture many of the ladies too many of the millions and millions of dollars and in one year's time don't bust it and is nothing you know why because the enemy don't sometimes and the tears right now I need to tell you that those of you who have given your lives to Jesus Christ you represent the wheat would you rather have to be able to distinguish between what is right what is wrong the wheat and the tares now watch what the Bible says if said the enemy they sowed them is the devil the harvest is the end in the world and the Reapers are the Angels and therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire so shudder be Jesus dog so shall it be at the end of the world so this parable the parable is about explain to us what's going on at the end of the world the end of the world is coming he's coming but every young person in welcome hope to be able to deal with the care now if you are wheat if you are a child of God and if you have did you God's DNA watch this now the interesting thing about the tears the tears cannot change the tears cannot change the leaf the tour's can't change the wheat and the enemy that sowed the tail knew he could change the weed that's not why the enemy shoulder Naima didn't sure to change the wheat because the wheat has eternal integrity the because the DNA is born to be please don't murder but the tear does he is going to be read it is in the flower is there wheat it doesn't told what is three weeks it doesn't business is fear weep weep weep because we we we cannot change we into a great you can't change we into a one America you can't change me into a Squatch because we have the DNA of the time cannot change the week because we will find wheat than why I got did the enemy so times the crystal because the fight is not between the beat and the tears the tears understand that it cannot change the we that's not why the tears showed up the tears filled up to confuse discombobulated to get those we could do something that we didn't have any business doing because the fight is not between the tears and the beat the fight is between them and God or you miss that one or you miss that one see the fight is not between the tears and the leave the fight they hear in the news that the fight between is not between the weep and attack the heat in the news that there is nothing that the enemy can do to change the DNA my boat I had to build machina and so Zoe machina is my god now she may she she she may be in New York mrs. vinegar oh she may drive too fast mrs. D'Amato she may not be on time they work machine still harder she might be impolite and tag no she's still my daughter she may have a lot of mouth but she's still my gun and there was nothing I can do the train get Martina it might not model she when she's out she's my daughter when she's down she's my boss when she's sick she's my dog when she's alright she's my daughter when she does wrong she's my daughter she has my DNA you might not like it but that we can do about the weeds hold the integrity of God see and the tears no there's nothing that they can do about the wind because you're not going to midweek watermelon you're not gonna tear that we can do a cucumber you're not gonna turn that into squash because we have God eternal but when it came it came shut that sweet and tie when we and what they did not the tears are not bad to kill the weight they know the cake do that the tears are there for the purpose of disrupting the life or death we the real job the wheels it's not between the tears and the weed the realest fight is between the enemy and God God what integrity in the seed of the week and a week never loses weakness all will be weak because of the sea always be weak it may stumble it may try them sat down it may do some things that shouldn't do but it will always be we what then is the purpose of the task the task is to make it turn upside down the tires are there to make it read out the tears are there to make it do what it's not supposed to do so then where then is the fight the fight is not between the tares and the wheat the fight is between the enemy that brought the tears and God Himself that gave integrity to the weak and you're missing it yeah are you missing it you remember Joe God said have you considered my servant [Music] Joe he's perfect and I'm right the devil said no no no no the only reason Joe was hoping you would because you got a hitter on you knew that the devil is not I'm talking to joy Louisa never talking to you see the devil is talking to God and God no that child is not gonna change that's why he introduced him to the devil the devil took away his property took his money took his his help it took his children took his possession to everything thus the tears that's what they do and the reason they do it is we called the devil wants to defeat God or AOM isn't you see what the devil does is he uses you to fight against God and that's what the players do the tears belong to the devil and the tears are used by the devil to defeat God status that's what happened in the dog Davina that's what happened either the devil say I know I know what God said I understand the law that God gave muscle here comes the player but God knows the day you eat you gonna be wise in other word I'm gonna influence you to disobey God and that's what the terrorists do the task influences the weak it's easily because of the DNA and what I'm saying to young folk is you've got to be strong in your core and you get this because I'm pretty about finish this tonight when I talk about the mandalas because the bond is gonna come at in at the end of the world and we see bun bundling every day we see bumbling every day every day and that lets me know that we're close to the end of time but you need to recognize the bundle when you see it bundling and it's right there that text but the thing here it is young young folk my fellow brothers what you got to do you got to have something in your core so you you're not gonna make it you're not gonna make it if you don't have a strong core because particularly young men in this church who are athletes the little girls the big girls and and the momma's gonna be after your boy if he's a good entity because to them he was as much and he's halfway good have mercy I mean even mama warned him if he's halfway good because baby you know I have to stay with him get married once once you marry him then that proves you in line all our money I may be able to bigger bosses you with universe their best that leaves you got your hands on that money [Music] all just saying man when you can you see those are tears and my young fellas is what you got to do you got to have a cold you see that got to be something that you don't be involved you say having done all to stand stand there for nothing is going out of style I say a nothing going out of style and you believe it go it looks like it's going out of style and you don't see it keep living it'll come back I'll say Amen when you can yes a man when you get I mean though you know those are nearly who rule for me with clothing I mean the star blazing God yeah it goes income or you just stick around just stick around you know I look at GQ you know I look at look at those actors I mean those models on GQ you know they all dressed up with their skinny ties you know you got to tight suit on this skinny ties aren't asked anytime I got any time hanging in my closet because I used to wear them 20 years ago yes I got them I mean I could go to my clothes and give me a job I mean is nice big time you got it you know it was a big week all abreast protectors and a big old Knox man there's really Westbrook Italy we had a balloon not big book if you don't have them big drop you know I'd say that a big not with this guy star blazing calm remember the elevator shoes now we wanted to be six feet where I put the elevators own and uh I'm six feet tall it's important that you understand that is the integrity of the sea and other ways it in terms in sea but you got to understand how to handle them tears because those toys come into your life so one reason and that is to disrupt your life they know there may not get you out of the church away from the church but what they do know they can disrupt so then the big this is my friend point and that is you have to have a core young women you have to have a core you have to have something deep down and but you just don't do you cannot go through life doing everything you cannot go through life living any way you want live you got to decide for Jesus in the devil one of the other and jesus said now listen the enemy comes and what does he come fall he comes to disrupt to disrupt your life and sometime the enemy gets so close to you until sometimes you can't tell who you are from who they are you have to always be sure that you do not lose your distinction you see and I'll deal with you tonight hopefully and that is you know Jesus because it is happening well maybe we need to go I did and do it with the tears a little oh you stop trying to tear them tears off you mess up that week Jesus let me do that let me do that let the wheat of the tears grow together you see you always are going to have something that gives you solidity you always want to need something that will cause you to keep your foot on the ground you and you will have nothing to worry about you need nothing you mean you cool all the way and he won't have any concern you mean nothing is bothering you when you in some serious trouble here in some serious trouble yeah you see what makes you strong the tears was trying to disrupt never hopper you can move on Department and you're going to have a two million dollar mansion after the second night you got trouble you see what I'm saying so there are some things to which you have to live with and some time that's all the people that you live with may be the reason that you see God differently then you would have seen him if it had been for those people see so the other ones knew how to deal with night and you have to understand the meaning of this parable of the wheat of the time and there's so much good stuff in there I did I just mention it who the fight is between the fight is not between the tares and the wheat the fight is between God and the devil because the devil uses the tares get these people to do that which is wrong you see and you got to understand that dynamic and you and tonight I'll talk about the bundles you know how to recognize the bundle and Jesus says that's what's going to happen when you see the world bundling then just know that the end is near it's right imitates threatened attacks when you see the world bundling bundles bundling when you see bundling then you know that we are there is right there detects let me just tell you that if you haven't seen bundling it's because you don't know it when you see it because we're living in a bundling world and Jesus says when you see it know that it in is here so we're talking about bundling bundling tonight if perchance you are in the audience you got some tears in your life tears are only there to disrupt intended as always they're there to disrupt your life because if you are child of God you have God's DNA and if you are a true child of God and if you by faith believe what God says like he said there is nothing that they were to do to destroy you now he may cause you to spot ball he may cause you they saw something that you didn't know supposed to say and he may even cause you to do some things you were supposed to do but so far away from God just like Marketo is my daughter whether she is rich or poor she is still my daughter yes Oh God and you can come back to it you can come back to and you can come back to it because you are a child of God and if that's your situation here this morning and if you're in this church if you're in this house if you in this room and you and you're not a child of God don't go home don't go home without deciding right now that you're going to say yes to Jesus Christ right now you but the Roman you have not been baptized for admission of your sins don't you go home without the inventor eyes for admission of your sins if you look if you're in this house right now don't you go home don't you go out of this door get in your car because it might be the last time what I need you to do is make up your mind right now but the preacher you're my street and here's what I'm going to do I don't want to come down and I'm going to give my life to Jesus Christ and I'm not perfect but preacher I ain't perfect I brought Richard because as I think about it I got some stuff in the icebox in a supposed to be in there you can write now and so I perfect you know I ain't perfect and I got a little I got a little something-something like then the car too but I so I'm not moving well we recognize that we recognize that but we also recognize nobody is born full though nobody's born for Lord everybody who become the child of God trouble here with some problems and what we understand we guess what we do and if you win this house to bed you're not a child of God I suggest to you that you do it right now and if you hear when you need prayer because the tears you've got some tears in your house you got some tears on your jaw you got some tears and your family and it no tears are just sticking to you and making you say things and do things you know you should do well that's what the team is poised to do that's the total job their job is to confuse the weak but because of your weakness because of your weakness because their DNA I mean to tell after me but I got this I got this I got this I know I'm a child of God I perfect but I'm a child of God and I just keep praying every day that God will bless me and makes me make me stormer in this area you see I just played it God will make me a stronger child of God in this area I'm a little weak that I need some strength and I'm but not don't go around and acting like you perfect okay nobody in the building government from the pulpit to the pew nobody's perfect so what you're doing is you just keep praying that God will give you the strength to beat a woman and a man that God wants you to be you got that opportunity right now if you're not a child of God the Baptizer if you are a child of God and you need strength you need prayer then you come down these are they altar room or the altar space is open and all you have to do is request prayer and the effectual there about righteous person abated much would you say yes to Jesus right now do it let us stand and while we're standing let us say yes to God right now
