“Vineyard”

Blessings folk!

Today’s reading:

Matthew 21:33-46
Mark 12:1-12
Luke 20:9-19

Whoa!

Jesus was “pulling no punches.”

The chief priests and the Pharisees understood what Jesus was saying in these parables.

Israel, especially her leadership, had rejected God.
Rejected the prophets.
They were now rejecting the Son.

The Kingdom which belonged to them would now be given to others.
They would be held accountable.

The very Stone that they rejected would crush them.

The Kingdom is now given to a people who produce the fruit thereof.

Are you of the Kingdom?
Or…
Are you of the Religionists, the world?
