Why Would He Do That?

Matthew records an interesting parable that Jesus shared on Tuesday of Holy Week. Jesus described wicked tenants who tried to seize the vineyard as their own. When the master of the house sent out servants to collect his portion of the crop, these tenants beat them, stoned them and killed them. Knowing full well that this same reception awaited whomever he sent next, have you ever scratched your head and wondered, "Why, then, did he send his son?" What resulted is amazing!
