Take note, beware, and turn, even today.One day, as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up and said to him, “Tell us by what authority you do these things, or who it is that gave you this authority.” He answered them, “I also will ask you a question.

Background: There are 6 main characters in this parable: 1) the landowner—God, 2) the vineyard—Israel, 3) the tenants/farmers—the Jewish religious leadership, 4) the landowner’s servants—the prophets who remained obedient and preached God’s word to the people of Israel, 5) the son—Jesus, and 6) the other tenants—the Gentiles. Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed (Matthew 21:38–44).The chief priests and the elders come to Jesus and ask him, "By what authority are you doing these things? But the people hung onto his every word and so they were powerless. And he sent yet a third. REFLECTION | The Parable of the Tenants: ‘Bear good fruits’ By. 33 “Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted a vineyard.

The Parable of the wicked Tenants. God’s visitation was breaking upon them. He was not under their authority or control and he was a threat to their position of power, of prestige and of wealth. The Pharisees and priests were too proud to be corrected. When we’re more concerned about how others perceive us than whether we're pleasing God, it's easy to see any correction as a confrontation instead of as an opportunity to prayerfully consider our posture before God.Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.

He shows them their own stony hearts, and, clearly aware of their intentions, he shows them the consequences of their proposed murderous plan. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower. ‘Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces.’ It is to our own present serious hurt and loss that we ignore or reject the Lord Jesus Christ. The fact that men and women suppress the truth, suppress the gospel and suppress the people of God . Parable of the Wicked Tenants: Matthew 21:33-44; Mark 12:1-11; Luke 20:9-18. So they watched him and sent spies, who pretended to be sincere, that they might catch him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor.He also shows them, painfully clearly, their own stony hearts; unwilling, ‘to love justice, show mercy and walk humbly with the Lord their God.’ Matthew Henry notes that the very best of God’s prophets and Christ’s ministers have consistently received the harshest treatment from the world and especially from the established religious leaders. (We love to drive too fast and hate the thought of being caught! Share. He will come and destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” When they heard this, they said, “Surely not!” But he looked directly at them and said, “What then is this that is written:“ ‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?

As we have seen thus far, Jesus has harsh words for the Jewish leaders, based largely upon their failure to see their need of repentance (Matt.
“A man planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a pit for the winepress and built a tower, and leased it to tenants and went into another country. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. )In hardness of heart, the chief priests, scribes and elders leading the nation of Israel would not . The Lord Jesus Christ is, ‘the beloved Son’ given for our rescue and entrusted with all authority and ultimate judgement.J.C Ryle asks if the principle of, ‘taking away and giving to others’ is a warning to us?

It was spoken with a very specific aim and target. It was the honest answer to their question – if their question was an honest question. The Parable of the Tenants by J. C. Ryle And he began to speak to them in parables. Finally, if the parable also has a personal, ongoing application for us today, it would be a call to examine our own lives, our own tenancy, for we are all but tenants in God’s world. There is danger in the area." Gentry and his Jesus Film® ...What Jesus is saying is that God had sent the prophets to Jerusalem, but they were mistreated and even killed. Believers may vary in the amount of fruit they produce, but there is no such thing as a fruitless believer. ’If my people , who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their ungodly ways; then I will hear from heaven , and will forgive their sin and heal their land.’The Lord Jesus did not loudly proclaim who he was but by word and by deed he demonstrated to honest seekers, those whose eyes were open to the things of God, who he truly was.
