“But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be our's. So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.” (Luke 20:14-15a KJV).
This puts to light the devastating reality of human greed, rejecting God’s authority, and the tragic cost of rejecting Christ Jesus our Lord, the Only Begotten Son of God. The husbandmen’s logic reveals the sad state of humanity’s bankrupt spiritual fabric, rejecting God’s sovereignty, and the consequential terrible loss of spurning the Lord Jesus Christ our Redeemer.
As children of God in Christ Jesus by faith, under the abundant supply of the New Covenant of grace, we do not work to get an inheritance—we already have it because of the Lord’s death on the cross. Trying to "seize" it by self-effort is an insult to the finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ. By casting the Son out of the vineyard and killing Him, the religious establishment rejected the very person of Grace. When you push Grace who is the Lord Jesus Christ out of your life to rely on your own strength to fulfill the law, you cut off your own supply of life, favor, and protection. You fall from Grace! The Scriptures declare: “You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace.” (Galatians 5:4 ESV).
And I say, AMEN!
