This week, Dr. Rafael Rodriguez explores Jesus's parable of the vineyard and its tenants. Jesus tells the parable in the temple courts one day after overturning the tables. It's a parable he shares in response to the question, "By what authority are you doing these things?" Jesus draws on the image of a vineyard, first offered by the prophet Isaiah, but in Jesus's telling the vineyards problem isn't the fruit but the workers who refuse to give the owner what belongs to him. It's a story of ridiculous grace, where the tenants believe murder can win an inheritance and an owner keeps sending servants. The question Jesus is presenting is twofold: what belongs to God and will we join him in offering his ridiculous love to everyone around us?
