The farmer in Jesus’ parable did not want to take out the tares before the harvest because he was concerned about damaging the wheat. God gives every person the opportunity to change their ways and to seek forgiveness for sins. We can be thankful that God loved us in our sinfulness and reached down to save us anyway. God is just and He is also merciful. We may not understand His ways when we are living, but all will be revealed at the time of judgement. We can trust in His perfect plan for us and His plan for the rest of the world as well.
