Matthew 13:26
Many may be confused by the phrase ‘the blade was sprung up’ in this verse. The blade refers to the wheat, which had grown to the point that it was ready to mature and have ‘fruit’, or corns of wheat. Thus, the enemy’s tares became evident only after the wheat started to produce. This is true all the time. When Almighty God is working among his people, the enemy’s pre-planted troublemakers will get all stirred up. Trouble always comes knocking when God’s Word is being heard and accepted by many.
