It's late and I'm tired.
Jesus tells a story about a tenant who mistreats those sent to collect a "portion" of what is owed the land owner. In the end the owner sends His son, whom He loves and they kill him.
The owner is God. His son is Jesus. The tenants are the religious leaders and the Jews who (through their forefathers) killed the prophets and those sent by God somehow thinking they would be in charge if the owner were out of the way or too scared to collect what was owed.
His final statement is just to remind those who were listening. No one escapes from God. Those who put their faith and trust in Jesus or are "broken to pieces" are restored and made whole and cleansed. But those who try to do it all on their own and reject Jesus will be crushed.
Here's the bottom line: you can't outwit God. You can't hide from Him, you can't keep what is His, you can't get there on your own. What's God's is God's and one way or another He will always get what is His.
Don't try and hide or keep what rightfully belongs to Him (that's all of you!).
Have a GREAT Wednesday!
Thoughts on the Bible, Church, life and living it to its full potential in Jesus Christ!
