Mark 12:4
Why get into the specifics of some of the servants that were sent for the fruit? Isn’t this belaboring the point? No. This was done for effect. Scholars of the Scriptures should recognize the parallel to the ministry of the prophets and how they were treated. Parables work best when the hearer doesn’t fully ‘get’ it till the end. Then at the end they should ask themselves, why didn’t I get that sooner?
Heavenly Father, thank you for the truth we find in your Word. It is so applicable! We constantly find it to be accurate. The truths found there dawn on us as we read with illumination from the Holy Spirit. Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
