Those who work for the Kingdom go into the world to sow good seeds. The enemy of the Kingdom comes and sows weeds (Matthew 13:39). The kingdom of Heaven is a peaceable Kingdom, yet the enemy comes in and sows seeds of violence. The Kingdom of Heaven is meant to be a healing agent in the world, yet the enemy comes and incites it to bring hurt. The Kingdom of Heaven is driven by grace and must not be reduced to legalism. Have discernment about wheat and weeds, as well as the works of the devil. Sow no weeds. It’s the devil’s business.
“He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to someone who sowed good seed in his field; but while everybody was asleep, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and then went away.” Matthew 13:24-25 (NRSV)
