A parable prophecy
I learned something new today while reading Jesus' parable in Luke 20:9-18. I encourage you to re-read it with the following perspective: The owner of the vineyard is God. The vineyard is Israel. The tenants are the religious leaders. The servants are the prophets and priests God sent. The son is Jesus, our Messiah.
In this short story, Jesus tells of how the religious leaders were blessed with land and fruit, yet when God sent his priests and his son Jesus to collect the fruit, the leaders beat them and killed Jesus.
Jesus revealed to the religious leaders that he knew about their plan to kill him and he references Psalm 118:22. He reminds us that God gives us access to many good things and that he wants us to use them for his purposes - to treat His people with love. Are you using the resources God's given you to bless others?
