Chris.
The servants of the land owner were willing to gather up the weeds – this was their suggestion and their respect for the land owner. The land owner had another idea but he must have been so Blessed to have servants like this. In our sphere of life as True Believers are we willing servants who want to help and take initiative, or are we complaining and murmuring servants? These servants ultimately obeyed the land owner, are we willing to obey the Lord?
