My Bible Story
Jesus told a parable about a farmer who planted good wheat. But an enemy secretly planted tares (weeds) that looked like wheat. Both grew together until harvest. Jesus explained that the wheat represents true believers, and the tares are false believers. God will separate them at the end of the age.
What This Teaches Us
- Not everyone who looks like a Christian truly follows Jesus.
- God sees the heart; nothing is hidden from Him.
- True believers produce good fruit.
- We must stay faithful and genuine.
Memory Verse
“Then the righteous will shine like the sun.” — Matthew 13:43
