Day 38
Apr 11, 2025 • Tim Reynolds
As Jesus approached the cross, His parables grew more intense, including those of judgment like The Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Mark 12:1–12). Using the vineyard as a metaphor for Israel, Jesus exposed the leaders' rejection of God’s prophets and their ultimate plot to kill the Son. While the parables revealed their accountability, the leaders hardened their hearts, fueling their hostility. Jesus’ teachings call us to remain open, willing to learn, and responsive to His revolutionary kingdom ways.
