Our Weekly Thought – July 13 - July 19, 2020

It is at times tempting to want to remove all evildoers by ourselves. Jesus cautions us in this parable (Matthew 13:24-30) that rooting out evil is not as easy a job as we might think. Where we might want immediate gratification, Jesus asks us for caution and restraint. After all, who among has perfect discernment? When seeking to remove evil from the world, ask God to reveal it first in your own heart, and go from there.
