In Mark 11:27–12:12, Jesus confronts the question of authority, revealing that everyone lives under something that ultimately guides their life. Through the parable of the tenants, our actions expose who or what we truly answer to, while God’s actions reveal His patient, pursuing love. The vineyard owner’s care points to the scandalous mercy of God, who went so far as to send His own Son to rescue us. Who holds authority in your life? How you respond reveals what truly guides you.
