Matthew 21:33
Jesus used things in his parables that people would easily understand. Though it is somewhat foreign to us, the Jews of that day would immediately understand all that he was describing in this verse. This is important. Jesus did not teach people with vague spiritualized legends or stories with weird or amazing notions in them. No, Jesus gave simple, down to earth, logical, and practical illustrations. In this way, it was easy for his hearers to understand what he was communicating provided they were willing to allow his truth to sink in.

You are so good and kind to me. You always have my best interests at heart. We cannot outdo Your care for us with our selfishness. No plan of ours can overshadow Your plan for our next step. You know all of tomorrow before it happens. You have it all in Your hands. Thank You! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
