Hint: The vineyard (where grapes are grown) is Israel; The farmer is God; the servants are the prophets who were sent by God; the son is Jesus; and the tenants are religious leaders of the Jews. Jesus wanted the Jews and the religious leaders to understand Him better as the ownner of the whole universe who came on earth as the surfering servant who was to be killed. The Jews in exile practised small scale farming, therefore Jesus gave them this parable in oder for them to understand what He was talking about.The Jews rejected God by not lestening to the prophets sent by God. This time around , we Christians are the Tenants served by Jesus the Prophets and we are urged to obey God the owner of the vineyard. May God Bless you as you are obeying Him.

Why did Jesus answer their question with a question? Why didn`t he just say that his authority came from God? Jesus answered with question becasues, He wanted the religious leaders to understand Him better. The people did not believe the miracles of Jesus, therefore , Jesus wanted them to reason for themselves. Its like the Pharisses were testing Jesus to hear the answer of Jesus. Jesus was responded to them by answering with a question because of their unbelief.

Jesus taught that both believing and forgiving are key to effective prayer. Why do you think they are important? Believing and forgiving is important in the sence that when we believe, we have assurance that we have received what we are asking for. Believing will assist us to have power to perfom miracles because Jesus manifest His power on His believers. Forgiveness is also very important because God forgives us when we forgive others. If we do not forgive, we put ourselves into shame because God will not forgive us. Amen!
