Sermon: Whose World Is It?
Sermon: Whose World Is It?
10/8/17
Matthew 21:33-43 tells the parable of the vineyard and the wicked tenants.
In the parable, the vineyard represents Israel, the tenants are the Jewish religious leaders, the servants are the prophets sent my God, and the son is Jesus.
Today, we can see that we are in God’s vineyard, but who are we and how are we to manage it?
1. Stewards- we don’t own the vineyard. We are to manage it.
2. Authority- the landowner, God has all authority. He owns it all.
3. Obedience- we have an obligation to obey the commands and wishes of the landowner.
4. Judgement- at the final harvest, a measure will be taken of our obedience and productivity.
