Prepare: Truth is incontrovertible. Panic may resent it; ignorance may deride it.; malice may distort it; but there it is - Sir Winston Churchill
Read: Like 20:1-18
A man may find it difficult to face the truth; but to refuse to face it may land him in trouble, out of which there is no escape. The emissaries of the Pharisees refused to face the truth, and they had to withdraw, frustrated and discredited with the crowd. In spite of their evasive and hypocritical reply, the leaders could not escape the past. They had rejected the ministry of John the Baptist, and that led to their refusal to trust Jesus Christ. You may forget your wrong decisions, but they will return to haunt you. When you turn to God in repentance, God will forgive you and give you peace of mind.
Sin consists in the failure to give God His proper place in one's life and in usurping the power which should be His. Sooner or later a man is called upon to give an account of that which was committed to his charge. The tenants in the parable thought they could have their own way but finally met their doom.
This parable tells us of the patience of God. He gave them a number of chances to do the right thing. However much a man may seem to get away with his unbalanced behaviour, the day of reconing comes. They would reject the Son and the Stone, and that would bring about their ruin. Christ either saves you or judges you; there is no middle ground/
Respond: Beyond the power of wicked man stands the un-defeatable majesty of God.
