TARES AMONG THE WHEAT

 

Tares look very much like wheat. Therefore the wise farmer will not try to separate the one from the other until harvest time. At that time they are easily distinguished. The tares will stand straight and erect. But the wheat will bow its head. Proud, self-righteous religionists are tares, which shall be bound up for the burning. The humbled, submissive, broken believers are the wheat, which shall be gathered into the heavenly granary.
