Matthew 21:38
Although this was an illustration, the circumstances of the heir of the vineyard owner were not much different from those of Christ. The Jewish leaders did not understand that Jesus was the heir of the vineyard. And, killing him would get them no inheritance. But, they did see the results of him being the heir. They saw his authority. They saw how that the people heard his word and many listened intently. They saw the works that he performed. They heard the word of God pouring forth from his lips. And they were jealous of all of it. Like the husbandmen hired by the vineyard owner, they wanted the heir dead. They wanted to get what he had for themselves.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your goodness to us through Christ. It is wonderful to be able to know that our sins are forgiven, and we have a home in heaven. May we also live the holy life that He can enable us to live. O Father, You have given us all that we need in Christ. May we never forget it! You are worthy of every moment of our lives. You are worth living for. Our service to You is but a small ‘thank-you’ note for all that You have done for us. Your power is amazing, Your love is so great, and Your ways are holy and just. You are righteous Father! Thank You for Your love for this world. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
