The Harvest Is Coming

Contributed by Sherry Brooks Martin on Sep 29, 2025

In the Parable of the Weeds, we are told a story about a man who did evil against another man and the way he did this was through planting weeds in the man’s garden. The seeds of grain grew, but so did the weeds that the evil man had planted. Jesus may have used this example because the hearers ...read more
