Matthew 21:33-46 — The Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Ep.059), A. Nineteen Sunday after Pentecost

The Parable of the Wicked Tenants. In this episode Jesus tells a parable about a vineyard that judges the religious leaders he is speaking to. He tells the religious leaders that the kingdom of God will be taken away from them and “given to a people who will produce its fruit”. This is a warning to us as well today. God has done everything to make it possible for us to produce spiritual fruit (being honest, loving, humble etc.) and He expects us to, though the help of the Holy Spirit, to live lives that produce such fruit. Jesus also makes several references to the Old Testament including 2 Samuel 12, Psalm 118 and Isaiah chapter 5. Thank you for listening to this podcast. I hope it is beneficial to you.
