Matthew 21-23

The parable of the wicked vine-growers differs from all the others Jesus had spoken before. The scenes are emotionally stirring, with bright flashes of mercy shining against the dark backdrop of serial murders. They depict both the unprovoked violence of the growers and the unfathomable patience of the owner.

Big Idea: Self-righteousness blinds you to God's exceeding patience and drives you to commit spiritual suicide.
