Unchanging minds

Matthew 21.33-46

Fathers and sons - Week 2 of 3


Three weeks in which we explore Matthew’s use of the relationship between fathers and sons. Read more about the distinctive nature of Matthew’s writing about Jesus found in the central chapters of the Gospel.

 

Unchanging minds

Confronted by the Temple authorities, Jesus tells another story about a vineyard and its tenants.


This week’s reading, Matthew 21.33-46, provides an opportunity to: 

  • recognise that we are stewards of the earth, not owners (AAA & CYP)
  • reflect on whether we seek to keep the peace at the expense of justice (AAA & CYP)
  • acknowledge that God used the violent rejection of Jesus for good. (AAA & CYP)
