DO WHAT GOD WANTS
Jesus told a teaching story or parable to some Jewish religious
leaders about a landowner who rented a vineyard to some farmers
with the understanding they would share the crop. Several times He
sent people to collect His share and the farmers mistreated them
and did not share. Then He sent His son and they killed Him. So
the landowner went and killed the farmers and found some other
farmers to rent to, who would do what the landowner wants. Then
Jesus said "THE KINGDOM OF GOD WILL BE TAKEN
AWAY FROM YOU. IT WILL BE GIVEN TO PEOPLE WHO
DO THE THINGS GOD WANTS IN HIS KINGDOM" [Mt
21:43 IC]. To the Jewish religious leaders listening, this was a
message and a prophecy as a few years later they were wiped out
along with the Temple and Jews were exiled from the promised
land for 1,878 years. Meanwhile, the Jewish and non-Jew
followers of Jesus increased and grew in numbers around the
world. The kingdom was taken away from the people Jesus was
speaking to but not all of God's chosen people or Jews, as God has
restored some, as many are now back in the promised land with the
country Israel. Do you obey God and do what God wants?
