Even the title "parable of the weeds" makes us focus on the bad: the event, the bad seed, the weeds, the burning. But Jesus ends his explanation of the parable starting that "the righteous so shind like the sun in the kingdom of their Father."

What if this parable is really about God preserving his people now until they enter into his eternal joy forever? Pastor Steve preaches on Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43.
