Now I will sing for my beloved the song of my beloved to his vineyard. My beloved had a vineyard on a fertile hillside.
He had fenced and cleared it and planted it with picked vines; He had built a tower in the midst of it, and made a winepress in it; and he expected me to give grapes, and gave wild grapes.
Now therefore, you inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge now between me and my vineyard.
What else could be done to my vineyard that I did not do in it? How, waiting for me to give grapes, has he given wild grapes?
I will show you, now, what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away his hedge, and it will be consumed; I will fence his fence, and it will be trodden down.
I will make it deserted; it will not be pruned nor dug, and the thistle and the thorns will grow; and even to the clouds I will command that they do not pour rain on it.
Isaiah 5: 1-6
Hear another parable: There was a man, father of a family, who planted a vineyard, fenced it in a hedge, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, and leased it to some farmers, and went away.
And when the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive their fruits.
But the husbandmen, taking the servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
He sent other servants again, more than the first; and they did with them in the same way.
Finally he sent his son to them, saying: They will respect my son.
But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and seize his inheritance.
And taking him, they cast him out of the vineyard, and they killed him.
Mark 21: 33-39
Concerning the topic that we have been talking about "Our humanity", here we see a reflection of this time "Time of apostasy".
Apostasy is attributed to the world, but who does NOT have faith can not apostatize from faith.
This begins in the body of Christ, in the church, "the workers of the vineyard." They kill the SON.
What is killing the son?
Are you so foolish? Having started by the Spirit, are you now going to finish by the flesh?
Galatians 3: 3
Try to achieve something by our human effort, believe that we are enough, use the law and discard the work of Jesus on the cross, believe that the word of God is NOT enough.
Why do we refer to the part of the parable where he talks about killing the heir to seize his inheritance?
When we were talking about our humanity it is to know ourselves, to know who we are in Christ and who we are as humans, the word of God DISCOVER us.
If we do NOT grow by means of the word of God, we try to give it shape, to apply ideas, we impose methods, we introduce legality.
This is "Apostasy", everything comes hand in hand, if we neglect our growth we replace the word and we destroy the work of the cross.
On the way to try to be too good we usually forget something essential: be human. We become a kind of demigods and we do not realize that we can not bear, either in our body or in our soul, the weight of the deity or the expectations of others, which are often similar.
Phrase I got from a book
This is the responsibility we have who are facing the work or who work as workers, we will demand and we must respond.
THE WORD OF GRACE IS SUFFICIENT, It is Holy Spirit guides us.
God keep blessing you!
The spiritual meaning of this post should not be oversight. What is it that God need to do to get back right to him. He has has done all. Giving his only son Jesus Christ to dir in our place. Yet we play religion with. How shall we then escape if we neglect such a great offer of salvation through Jesus Christ. Grace and salvation today, inescapable judgement soon. Just soon. Repentance and acceptance of God's great offer is the key.
Exact! Receiving Jesus Christ BY Faith is the key, it is the beginning of a new life, salvation by "Faith, by Grace and by the experience of a new birth". We do not have the capacity to achieve something by our means. That's what I've been talking about all the time. Hug!
