Reflections
GOSPEL:
Matthew 21:33-43
Jesus compares God to a
vineyard owner whose messengers go to the
tenants of the vineyard to collect his
share of the grapes at harvest time. But
the tenants beat, stone, or murder the
owner’s messengers. When the owner
sends his son, the tenants treat him as
they did the messenger. They kill the son,
hoping to keep the vineyard, his
inheritance, for themselves.
The son in the parable is Jesus, of
course, and the messengers are God’s
prophets, who speak in God’s name.
Jesus is reminding us that the kingdom
will be taken away from those who do not
give God a harvest of good works.
1.) When Jesus was telling the story
of what happened to the prophets and to
the son, how do you think he must have
felt?
2.) Are we rejecting any of
God’s messengers, or in any way
rejecting Jesus?
3.) How can we accept Jesus and his
messengers in our lives?
