The Parable of The Wheat and The Weeds Family Devotional

Matthew 13:30

Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, “Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.”

Story summary

In this family devotional from The Parable of The Wheat and The Weeds, Greybobby and friends help Uncle Greybilly with a harvest and are reminded of the parable, and the fact that God is the perfect judge who knows who His children are.

Matthew 13:30

Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, “Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.”

What Did We Learn?

  • Sometimes it may look like evil is winning, but God knows who belongs to Him, and one day He will make all things right.
  • We shouldn't judge others as though we can see into their hearts.
  • Instead, we should take our own sins seriously, turn to Jesus for forgiveness, and trust Him to be the perfect Judge.
  • The good news is that Jesus came to save sinners like us!
  • We can trust Him to forgive us and change our hearts.

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for knowing our hearts and for being a perfectly just Judge.
Help us not to look down on others or pretend we know everything about them.
Help us recognize our own sins and turn to Jesus for forgiveness.
When it seems like evil is winning, remind us that You are in control and will make all things right in Your perfect time.
In Jesus' Name we pray,
Amen.

Discussion Questions

1.) Have you ever judged someone before?
