Grow Wheat: How Jesus Brings Heaven Into Our Everyday Lives
n Matthew 13, Jesus tells the parable of the wheat and the weeds — a story about judgment, mercy, evil, and the Kingdom of Heaven breaking into the world right now.
In this Mother’s Day message, Jen Drake reminds us that our job is not to decide who is “wheat” and who is “weed.” Our calling is to sow the seeds of the Kingdom: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and faithfulness.
Jesus came to conquer evil at the root — not so we could point out the hell in others, but so He could remove it from our own hearts and teach us how to bring more heaven into the world around us.
