Matthew 13:37-43
37 He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. 39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. 40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. 41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
When Jesus had to explain the parable of the sower, His followers heard the war for men's souls. God's word, the good news of Jesus Christ, is what our enemy is doing all to keep from us so we are kept from God as he is - we have a chance to be reconciled, and he does not. So we sow seed and pray that many will be washed clean and made righteous in this truth war.
