If there is a God who is so good and loving why He allows evil in this world? Every day there are reports of killings, rapes, massacres, bombings, stealing etc. that fill the newspapers. Why all these happen? The answer is this gospel passage.
Jesus reveals certain facts in this gospel such as;
- Existence of Evil
- God tolerates the Weed
- The Weeds do not destroy the wheat
- The final victory of God over the everything
Can we pray to God to pull out the weeds as the servants prayed? But who knows we might be the first one to be pulled out and thrown to fire. As in the case of adulterous woman’s incident “those who do not sin through the first stone over her” may be the words of Jesus to us.
Jesus is so kind that he provides even the Weeds a change for conversion in to wheat. We see the conversions taking place in the heart of the people making them good disciple of Jesus. Jesus calls us for a self-examination and conversion to become wheat in the garden of God.
