In Triumphal Entry Part 3, we look to Luke 20:9 and the Parable of the Vineyard Owner and The Judgement of the Tenants.

This story is employed by Jesus as a 'mirror' for the religious leaders - who serving as Tenant ‘farmers’ are entrusted to lead the people and produce fruit, glorying God, but they are sour in every way possible. Seeking forge their own path, that they believe is to in keeping the law. The have truly lost their way!

Jesus foretells of the leaders collective plans to kill Gods beloved Son. Opening the door for repentance by calling them out for their rejection of the ‘chief cornerstone’ of the new temple of God. Yet they connived and plotted all the more to kill Jesus.

As Christian’s we see Jesus is the beloved Son of the Vineyard owner, of the story. In the midst of the chaos, the story also showcases God's resilient and patient love in sending His son to forgive the trespasses of the tenants. A story that would climax at the cross at Calvary, with Jesus taking away the sins of the world and enacting the New Covenant with His very life.

The very resilient and patient love of our Heavenly Father, to be known by all who receive Christ with faith and love in their hearts.
