Jesus followed the parable of the sower with the parable of the weeds.
Matthew 13:24-26 (NIV)
The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.
The field owner lets the wheat and weeds grow together, knowing it will all get sorted out in the end.
It’s hard to tell which seeds are good. I might be watering some weed seeds, just sayin’.
