Warning: Don’t Misinterpret God’s Patience

In Mark 12:1-12 Jesus tells a story about the patience of God and the way the religious leaders had abused it. Essentially this text is a warning. It’s a warning not to presume upon God’s kindness or misinterpret his patience for permissiveness. You see as patient as our God might be this story reminds us that there is a day of judgment coming. In this message the landlord’s son comes to each of us and begs us not to neglect the great salvation he came to offer by presuming upon God’s patience but rather to let God’s patience lead us to repentance.
