Genesis 37:3-4, 12-13, 17-28 / Matthew
21:33-43, 45-46
Jesus teaches the people: “Hear another parable”
This parable reveals three important points. First, it reveals God’s
patience. God gave the tenant farmers three chances, even in the face of
violence. Second, it reveals Jesus’ uniqueness. Jesus is not just another
prophet, like the other prophets (slaves). Third, it reveals our accountability. It shows that sooner or later
we will be held accountable to God for our actions, just as the tenant farmers religious leaders) were held accountable
for their actions.
