Another parable He put forth to them saying, " The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way". -Matthew 13:24-25
You know something is popular when you start seeing It's imitations everywhere. When someone comes up with a new design for sad something, it isn't long before everyone starts producing a fake version of it.
In the same way, whenever there is a genuine work of God, we can always exoect to see the devil's imitation.
If there is a path that leads to God, there will be other paths that lead away from God. If there is a way that leads to heaven, there will be a way that leads to hell.
Jesus told the story of the wheat and the tares, in which a man went out and planted a field of wheat. But in the night, his enemy came and planted tares among the wheat.
Tares actually resembled wheat in the early stages if growth. If you were to see the two plants side by side, you would not be able to notice a difference.
But after a period of time, the tares would show itself for what it really was. Tares were just worthless weeds whereas wheat provided nourishment.
Not only were the tares an imitation of the real wheat, they were also vicious that they tried to actually displace the wheat from the field.
Our world offers so many imitations for the soul that is seeking for salvation. And the fact that there are so many imitations only confirms there is an original.
Jesus is the one true and original Saviour of the world. Put all your trust in Him.
Prayer: I acknowledge You Lord Jesus as the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Scriptural Reading: Matthew 13:24-32
