Name: Chad
Scripture: Luke 20: 1-26
OAP: This story is the story of Jesus, plain and simple. And in the end the Master destroys the tenants and gives the vineyard to others. My gut reaction is how to I get to be the others? My refined reaction is how do I make sure I am not destroyed. My final reaction, post reflection, is how do I use this to love God. The problem wasn't necessarily that they beat and killed the messengers, although that cannot be ignored, they simply didn't pay taxes. They didn't follow the rules, the law.
It was only then that people were sent to collect. The jist of this passage gives me the vision of honest attempts at honoring God is what is really necessary, not the BS that I am so competent at spewing out. The tenants ignored the law and then mocked the master, I am not so great at the following of the law, the least I could do is not mock the master.
Call me on it, I am truly sorry.
