Pentecost 17

Today's Gospel and OT Lesson concern parables of the vineyard and its landlord. God is the landlord, the Earth is his vineyard, and we its tenants. In the OT context a vengeful God wreaks havoc on his recalcitrant people. In the Gospel he sends his son who is Jesus himself. The passage quoted is from Psa_118:22-23. Psalm 80 and today's Epistle talk of redemption.
