1 Samuel 19:8-20:42; Isaiah 60:1-22; Romans 5:12-21

Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him. Luke 20:13

In this parable the Lord Jesus exposed the false hearts of those to whom He was sent. Their desire for position and power wouldn’t allow for a rival such as Himself and in their response to His final question, they categorically condemned themselves. Once they realized He had spoken about them, they sought to overthrow Him rather than repent of their sin. Human pride; how like our hearts to defend that which can cost us so much. —Rick Morse

Down to the depths of woe, Christ came to set me free;
He bared His breast, received the blow, which justice aimed at me. —G. W. Frazer
