In this sermon, Pastor Jim explores Jesus' Parable of the Wicked Tenants from Mark 12:1-12. The parable describes a landowner (representing God) who plants a vineyard (representing Israel), leases it to tenants (representing religious leaders), and sends servants (representing prophets) to collect his share of the fruit. When the tenants beat and kill the servants, the owner sends his beloved son (Jesus), whom they also kill. The parable prophetically describes how the religious leaders would reject and crucify Jesus, yet this wouldn't stop God's plan of redemption.
