In this Commentary Clip, Tony explores the Parable of the Weeds and Wheat in light of the story of the Fall in Genesis 3. As he explains, through this parable, Jesus reveals a God Who desires the conversion of all, and patiently works to enable each of His creatures to attain the end for which He created them. Namely, eternal happiness in His loving embrace.
