Tables & Sinners – The Cornerstone

 

Luke 20:1-19 // The Parable of the Wicked Tenants. How does agriculture and architecture help us enter the Kingdom? We can’t long for Jesus’ return when we aren’t fruitful and grateful, or when we believe we are in charge and in control. “God will judge, not because God gives people what they deserve, but because some people refuse to receive what no one deserves [the unmerited grace and mercy of God]. If evildoers experience God’s terror, it will not be because they have done evil, but because they have resisted to the end the powerful lure of the open arms of the crucified Messiah.” ~ Miroslav Volf
