Scripture: "Hear another parable. There was a householder who
planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and dug a wine press in it, and
built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country. Matt 21:33
Reflection: When
I hear of this parable I wonder why do people envy the priesthood and its
privileges and for that matter any privileged position in the church.
Ultimately any privileged position in the church is like being a tenant who is
called to live out ones role of stewardship over the vineyard of God. It is God
who has planted the vineyard, sets it boundaries of operation given it the wine
press of sacrifice and built the necessary tower of strength to overcome the
enemy.
When
the day of reckoning arrives he is going to ask an account from all those
tenants. They may go around as shepherds,
heads of Associations, presidents and vice-presidents, Coordinators, etc. but
they will ultimately be called to task as tenants.
Prayer: Lord,
may the tenant whom you have placed over your Vineyard be guided by your wisdom
to take the right decision in life so that they may not stand condemned on the Day
of Judgment.
