The Wheat and the Tares: A Warning
The Wheat and the Tares: A Warning Yeshua’s parable of the wheat and the tares reminds us that not everything that looks righteous truly is. Rabbi Elijah Zvi Soloveitchik explains that tares resemble wheat at first, but over time they change form—they “deviate from the correct path.” In the same way, people may appear godly outwardly, yet their actions lead others away from God’s truth. Yeshua warns us to use discernment: to watch the fruit, not the appearance, and to measure every teaching against God’s Word. The righteous and the unrighteous may grow side by side for a season, but the harvest will reveal the difference. God calls us to remain steadfast as wheat—rooted, fruitful, and guided by His light.
