In Matt 13:24-30, Jesus told the parable of the wheat and weeds. This parable answers the age-old question that people of all generations have asked: Where is God amidst all the evil that surrounds us today? Why does He not do something about it? However, God is not being immune or indifferent to the presence of evil. He assures us that there is coming a day when all evil will be wiped out from the face of the earth.
