The answer is: Burnt

Matt 13:30

In the parable of the tares, found in Matthew 13:30, the imagery is vivid. Here’s the noteworthy detail: in agricultural terms, tares were often weeds that looked quite similar to wheat during their early growth stages. Farmers would plunge into a tough predicament if they tried to uproot the tares prematurely because they risked pulling out valuable wheat too. How relatable this caution becomes in our own lives—there's an art to discernment!

Jesus wraps up the parable by sharing that the tares, when fully ripe, will be gathered and burned. This cleansing process isn’t simply about culling out the unwanted; it has a deep spiritual significance! Each character symbolizes greater themes, where the wheat represents the righteous and tares signify those you'll find amongst us who may cloud the truth.

Interestingly, did you know these tares are believed to be a type of darnel, which is indeed toxic? This reflects real stakes in life; it hints at the bullying murmurs we battle with both within culture and around personal growth. Furthermore, the parable’s conclusion echoes themes found throughout the Bible, like the concept of judgement—something echoed in the story of the sheep and goats (Matthew 25:31-46).

By linking these ideas back to the broader PI, it reminds us to evaluate wisely who—or what—plays a crucial role in the garden of our lives, emphasizing the importance of patience before taking radical actions. Sometimes it’s about letting things play out, trusting in timing divine and redemptive.
