Parable of the Weeds among the Wheat
Matthew 13 24-30
The Church is full of good and bad people. Sometimes you can’t tell them apart. God allows both types to remain until the end of time, when they will be “harvested” and separated. The sinner will be thrown into the fire, and the true believers will enter heaven.

Parable of the Mustard Seed
Matthew 13 31-32
One single man, Jesus, died to bring forth the Church, which has grown into the largest and longest lasting religious institution in history. The entire world has benefitted from this one, small act of sacrifice . . . much like birds can benefit from the growth of a single seed into a tree.
