And [Jesus] said, "Every plant which My heavenly Father did not plant shall be uprooted - What God plants will remain. What He does not plant will be destroyed. MacArthur says, "Those plants are the ungodly tares, which God now allows to grow alongside the godly wheat. But at the end of the age, the tares will be 'gathered up and burned with fire, ' as God’s angels 'will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire.'” (Matt. 13:40-42) As Utley says, "Peace at any price was not Jesus’ way!"
