God went to great lengths to help his people understand their identity. The people of God have a rich story because of God’s faithfulness, but often it is a story that is tainted with God’s people not listening and obeying. This parable of Jesus provides a significant warning on not listening or acting upon God’s desire. God has given everyone the opportunity to continue His story through Jesus and this parable is a perfect example of it. Interested in Northern’s Master’s of Arts in New Testament with Dr. McKnight?
