October 8, 2023 Matthew 21:33-46 The Parable of the Wicked Tenants

This week we discuss the Parable of the Wicked Tenants, which seems to be intended by Jesus as an allegory to confront the Jewish religious leaders over their rejection of him. Calvin agrees with this reading, but he also applies it to his own time, and reminds us that all those who would act as God’s “servants” are subject to human weakness. Finally, we discuss that as a possible avenue for preaching.
