In the Parable of the Weeds and Wheat (Matt 13:24-30), Jesus teaches the same lesson he offers earlier in the Sermon on the Mount (Matt 7:1-5) - “do not judge.” Like the field hands in the parable who are told not to pull the weeds from among the wheat, it’s not our place to decide who’s in and who’s out of the kingdom of God. Our place is to follow Jesus, the Sower, the King, the Savior, and invite others to do the same.
