Run, devil Run

*Tares are types of weeds that look like wheat. The devil has planted evil people who look and act like Godly people.

*Notice that at the end of days, the tares are taken out first, then the wheat. The evil people are taken out first, then the Godly.

*The enemy is a trespasser…he does not own the field and has no right to be there.

Abraham Kuyper, "There is not one square inch of the entire creation about which Jesus Christ does not cry out, "This is mine! This belongs to me!"

Jesus owns the field and the seed:
