The parable of the tenants is Jesus’ tragic and prophetic telling of the mercy of God for fallen humanity by imagining a loving landowner’s interactions with his spiteful and murderous tenants.
In this parable, Jesus was giving his hearers a big picture. Whether they understood it or not, it’s a reminder that God owns everything—the vineyard, Israel, the world, the harvest, and everything in between. The fictional tenants and servants, the real people back then, and people today don’t own themselves. Everything belongs to God, and we’re all accountable to him.
