As Christ followers, we recognize our contribution to the brokenness of this world due to our own sins for which we ought to repent, but there is another dimension to our experience of this broken world, and that is the presence of the enemy who plants weeds. The evil one desires the fall of the world; we are in a cosmic battle between good and evil as children of the Kingdom planted in God’s field. However, we are not left on our own. We have a liberator who frees us from the grip of sin and death—one who is ultimately victorious who invites us to participate in that final victory and vindication.
