A Hijacked Vineyard

Jesus tells the story of a hijacked vineyard to the chief priests and pharisees in the temple after the triumphal entry. He is essentially calling out the leadership of the Jewish people for holding people captive in their religion when they were supposed to be freeing people for relationship with Him. As we listen to this parable we consider our response to this thinly veiled metaphor and what it reveals to us about our understanding of what Jesus actually accomplished.
