This week in my religion class we studied the parables that Jesus told. My favorite parable has always been the parable of the wicked husbandmen. This can be found in Matthew 21:33-46.
I just love how Jesus Christ shows how the Lord worked through prophets to help tend to his vineyard (Earth), but the people wouldn't accept them and killed them. Then he sends his own son, or heir, to go tell the husbandmen off, but even still they pay no respect for the Lord and kill His son.
It is an easy parable for me to understand and see in the dispensations of prophets and Christ Himself.
Let us always remember what Christ said in verse 42:
"Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?"
Christ is the stone the builders rejected! He has become the head of the corner and it IS 'marvellous in our eyes'!
