FAMILY THEME: FAITHFULNESS

THE UNFAITHFUL TENANTS

Matthew 21:33-46

Jesus used the parable of the unfaithful tenants to give 

perspective to Israel's rejection of God's messengers 

and their imminent rejection of His Son. He also outlined

the importance of faithfulness and the dangers of not

bearing fruit.

1.  Faithfulness is Listening to God's Servants 

     (Matthew 21: 33-36)

     This parable represents how Israel did not want to

     hear God's message so they rejected the messengers.

 
2.  Faithfulness is Loving God's Son

     (Matthew 21:37-42) 

     Jesus, though generally rejected by the religious 

     leaders, is the foundation upon which God's kingdom

     is being built.

 
3.  Faithfulness is Living to Produce Kingdom Fruit

     (Matthew 21:43-46)

     The kingdom of God would be given to those who

     bear its fruit.
