Mark 12:1-12 - God's Been Reaching Out

In this week's passage, Jesus shares the parable of some wicked tenants; the kind of people you would not want to be in business with. In this story, we find the owner of a great vineyard, who tries over and over to collect what is rightfully his and the wicked tenants who reject, scorn, and destroy every opportunity to honor their end of the deal. Though this is a sad parable, it also highlights God's relationship to his people. God lovingly reaches out time and time again and even gave His one and only Son to die on a cross, to call His people back to Himself, only to be rejected and scorn. How do we respond to God’s call? How do we say “Yes” to Jesus?
