THE WICKED SERVANTS SQUANDERED GOD’S GOODWILL AND MISSED THE OPPORTUNITY OF LOOKING AFTER THE VINEYARD
1 min read
The parable of the wicked tenants reminds us that God looked for peace for his people and got war, for true worship and got idolatry, for justice in their dealings with one another and got injustice, corruption and exploitation of the poor and the weak as we have it in Nigeria today.
God sought for goodness and got evil, for caring and sharing and got greed and selfishness, for temperance and got voraciousness, for community and got exclusiveness and snobbery, for wise and godly living and got pegan life style. Yet God did not give up on them.
The wicked servants squandered God’s goodwill and missed the opportunity of looking after the vineyard to their perceived inferiors the gentiles. We too have disappointed God most often but let us be careful not to lose our opportunities like those wicked servants rather I pray that we make use of the second chances God presents to us now. We still have the grace to reciprocate his gracious goodwill upon us as his children.
Happy Sunday! Fadafido Cares!
