I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. Either tonight (November 24) or this Wednesday Night (November 27), this passage from the Gospel of St. Matthew will most likely be read in churches across the US holding Thanksgiving services. And here is hoping that everyone reading this has a Blessed Thanksgiving. And if you enjoyed your meal, thank God, a farmer for growing it, and a truck driver for delivering it. And don't make fun of farmers with your mouth full of food. To me, that is an insult to both of my grandfathers, who farmed for a living.
Thank God for the good plans he has for our lives (jeremiah 29:11). People may grow together in some ways, but what we do with what we have reaped makes all the difference to make it good and useful or a bad and a waste. The wicked watch the sons and daugthers of God but only to continue their bad plans of seducing people towards destruction with seemly godly and copied behaviour (what a heavenly recognition and what a monstruous eye opener to come!). God his sons and daugthers will see and know what they have learned and will not forget God his words or forsake God his warnings, beware! I receive this whole message according to matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 and bind all demonic tares upon no return in my life, loosening the good and useful wheat to take root in my life in the name and by the blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah!!!
Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: Matthew 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. Matthew 13:26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. Matthew 13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? Matthew 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? Matthew 13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in 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 barn. _Jesus sown the good seed. Right after the enemy came and sown the tares among the good seed._ _Good seed = the four Gospels; Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John._ _The tares were sown then after._ _Everyone knows Jesus came and sown the good seed. And everyone knows who came right after Jesus and sown much seed intermingled with what Jesus had sown._ _Many people (instead of following what Jesus had sown) insist upon following that which was sown after Jesus._
