(Matthew 21:33-46) After having His authority challenged by the Jewish rulers, for having cleansed the temple, Jesus addressed three parables to these leaders of the nation exposing their sin in rejecting those whom God sent to them. In this lesson, we review the first parable, of the two sons, and look in detail at the second parable, of the vinedressers.
In this series, we study Jesus' use of parables as a teaching tool, looking at how and why Jesus used parables, as well as examining the major parables recorded in the synoptic gospels.
