Re:Verse passage – 2 Peter 2:1-3 (day six)
24 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared. Matthew 13:24-26
Almost every New Testament letter addresses false teaching within the church. Peter, Paul, and John spent enormous energy guarding the gospel’s purity and guiding believers toward truth. Jesus was right after all: “…the weeds also appeared.”
Peter calls for a kind of spiritual watchfulness, not a fearful suspicion, but a clear-eyed awareness that wherever truth grows, error will try to grow alongside it. False teaching doesn’t usually deny truth outright; it bends it just enough to blur the line.
That’s why we must remain awake, rooted in the Apostles and Prophets, and grounded in the good news, not anxious about deception, but alert and discerning, trusting the One who planted the good seed in His field.
