Discussion
Starters
- Why
does Jesus use the image of vineyards so often in His teaching?
- How are you at handling
confrontation? What strategies do you employ when confronting someone?
- Why did Jesus confront the
Pharisees and other religious leaders so frequently?
- Why are we so quick to
dismiss people from the Kingdom of God? Can we dismiss anyone?
- At the time of this passage,
the Pharisees were outside the Kingdom of God. Who excluded them and
why?
- What fruit is
God looking for from the vineyard we toil in?
- How do we exclude ourselves from the Kingdom of
God?
- Who are the
people who come to us looking for the fruit of the Kingdom?
- How does Jesus come to us
looking for fruit?
- Ultimately, whose vineyard is this? Why are we so posessive of
it?
