The Seed of Discrepancy


1 I have chosen tonight for a short text, or short reading, the Lord willing, to give us the context of it, out of St. Matthew 13:24 to 30. And then also I--I want to read from 36 to 40, just in a few moments. Now, St. Matthew the 13th chapter, and beginning with the 24th verse of the 13th chapter of St. Matthew. Listen close to the reading of the Word. My words will fail, but His will not.
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying. The Kingdom of heaven is likened to a man which sowed good seed in his field:
But while he slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
But when the blades was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
And he said unto them, An enemy has done this. And the servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go... gather them up?
But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, you root up also the wheat with them.
Let them both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will send forth the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into the garner.
2 Did you notice, "Gather the tares first and bundle them"? Now, I... Reading this, there was something strange come to me while I was setting up on top of the Catalina Mountains the other night, in prayer. And then I thought, where could I gather a word that I could use for this that I wanted to speak on tonight?
And I went down and found the word of "discrepancy," so I got the dictionary and looked what the word "discrepancy" means. And it means it's "sowing discord," or--or "being contrary," as Webster says, "sowing a discord, something different," or, "being contrary to what's already been." So I thought the text tonight, I'd call it: "The Seed Of Discrepancy." And trust that the Lord will bless His Word now as we approach It.

4 And we also know He interpreted in verse 36 and--and to 43, how that this seed matured. And while we're at it, let's just read that also: verse 36 now unto 43.
And when Jesus had sent the multitude away, He went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
And He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
And the field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
The enemy that soweth them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
And shall cast them into a fire, a furnace of fire: and there shall be weeping, and--or be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who has an ear... let him hear.
