Vinedressers and The Cornerstone
Jesus tells another parable which compares the religious leaders to the wicked vinedressers who kill the master’s son. Jesus compares himself to the chief cornerstone and the church is to align with His standards . He also foretells of coming judgement.
Jesus wreaks havoc upon the profiteers of the temple and because of their hypocrisy. The chief priests are unable to tolerate Jesus’s praises that are sung by the children. He then curses the fig tree, a picture of Israel, but promises that the prayer of the disciples will be answered.
