To All Who Received Him
Jesus was the fulfillment of God’s promise of redemption. In the parable of the wicked tenants, however, Jesus revealed that He would receive the same treatment as the Old Testament prophets who proclaimed His coming: He was unrecognized, and even threatened, by His own people. Alistair Begg reminds us that we are as just responsible as the Israelites for rejecting God’s Son. When God acts in our hearts and we receive Jesus as our captain, though, He gladly claims us for His own.
