Creation Killed The Creator's Son

As the opposition to Jesus increased, He told a parable foreshadowing what would happen to Him on the cross. Just like those opponents, anyone who rejects Jesus rejects the Father who sent Him.

Jesus Is Challenged (Mark 11:27-33)

The religious leaders’ true beliefs were hidden in their questions (v. 28).
Jesus’ authority always demands a response (v. 30).
Be careful not to let pride or fear prevent you from encountering Jesus (v.33).

Jesus Is Rejected (Mark 12:1-12)

Characters in the parable
- Man/ Builder: God the Father
- Vineyard: Israel/ God’s people
- Tenants: Religious Leaders
- Servants: Prophets
- Son: Jesus
In Isaiah the problem is a fruitless vineyard, in Mark, the problem is wicked tenants (v.1-5).
Jesus was rejected, not because he was misunderstood, but because he was understood all too well (v. 6-8).
Rejection of Jesus leads to destruction, but acceptance of Jesus leads to resurrection (v. 10-11).
