(ESV)<br><br>        Our prayer this week is that God grants us forgiveness so<br>   that we may serve Him in peace and joy, recognizing that He is<br>   our only hope and comfort.<br>        O Lord, grant to Your faithful people pardon and peace<br>        that they may be cleansed from all their sins and serve<br>        You with a quiet mind.<br><br><br>        Jesus, several days before He was crucified, told the rulers<br>   of the Temple a parable which explained the coming judgment.  A<br>   man planted a vineyard and leased it to trusted tenants.  At the<br>   proper time, He asked the tenants for a share of the fruit of the<br>   vineyard.  The tenants ignored the request and killed those the<br>   master sent.<br><br>        ``Finally he sent his son to them, saying, `They will<br>        respect my son.'  But when the tenants saw the son,<br>        they said to themselves, `This is the heir.  Come, let<br>        us kill him and have his inheritance.'  And they took<br>        him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.<br>        When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what<br>        will he do to those tenants?''  They said to him, ``He<br>        will put those wretches to a miserable death and let<br>        out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the<br>        fruits in their seasons.''<br><br><br>        Through most of the Old Testament history of the children of<br>   Israel, we find that they mostly rejected God and turned to false<br>   idols.  They tortured and killed the prophets sent to give them<br>   the news of God's grace and mercy.<br><br>        The arrogance of the tenants is the cause of their sad end.<br>   Even the chief priests and scribes recognized the result of              <br>   killing the Master's Son.  Unfortunately, they did not take that<br>   lesson to heart.<br><br>        May our Lord grant us faith to return to Him, trusting in<br>   His mercy alone.
