This week Jesus offers us a haunting parable about a vineyard and some tenant farmers who refuse to render to the landowner what was his, eventually killing his son in rebellion. As we dwell in this story this morning and ask what it means for us who follow Jesus, we find a Calling, a Warning, and a Mystery.

As we continue to make our way toward Jerusalem with Jesus, he again makes clear that what it means for him to be King is that he will suffer, die, and rise again. Now we get our first hint as to why: “The Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” What might that mean for those who follow him?

In the story this week, King Josiah rediscovers the Book of the Law, which had been lost and forgotten. Reading its words for the first time, Josiah realizes the sin of his nation and their need of God to save them. Worship and God’s Word continue to lift up our eyes and realize how deeply we need Jesus. This is where we begin our journey in this Advent season of waiting and hoping.

Who are you? I mean, really, who are you? Have you ever come to a crisis of identity, had everything else stripped away, and had to wonder who you even were? In the story this morning of David’s bringing the Ark into Jerusalem we see how and where we learn who we are: worship.

Our God is the God who turns barrenness into abundance, mourning into joy, darkness into light. Is there anything too wonderful for the Lord?
