Scripture: Matthew 13:24~30
Title: “Are You Sons of the Kingdom or the evil one?”


24    Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man
who sowed good seed in his field.


25    But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among
the wheat, and went away.


26    When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also
appeared.


27    “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good
seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’


28    ” ‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. “The servants asked him, ‘Do you
want us to go and pull them up?’


29    ” ‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may
root up the wheat with them.


30    Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the
harvesters:
First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned;
then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’ ”


Reference : Matthew 13:37~43


37    He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man.
38
    The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom.
The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
39    and the enemy who sows them is
the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

40    “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the
end of the age.
41    The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will
weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.
42  
  They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.
43    Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the
kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
