The message in Jesus’ parable of the tenants was very clear to the Jewish leaders: they were the ones who had rejected the Messiah, and because of their unbelief, they would be destroyed. In telling this parable, Jesus introduced the new Israel, which is made up of all those who possess faith, both Jews and gentiles. Alistair Begg uses this parable to remind us that we too have rejected God and that eternal life can only be found by believing in the promised Messiah.
