[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today’s Gospel tells of the landowner who planted a vineyard and
leased it to tenants. This vineyard stands for Israel, but it could be
broadened to include the whole world. Like the landowner, God has made for
his people a beautiful and productive place, a place where they can find
rest, enjoyment, and good work. When vintage time drew near, the landowner
sent his servants to the tenants to obtain the produce. But the tenants
seized the servants and one they beat, another they killed, and a third
they stoned. Is this not the whole, sorry history of Israel and its
prophets, of the world and the people whom God has sent? Then we hear the
event upon which the parable turns: “Finally, he sent his son to them,
thinking, ‘They will respect my son.’ But when the tenants saw the son,
they killed him.” After the terrible treatment that his representatives
have received, the owner sends his son? Is he crazy? Yes, a little. But
this is the over-the-top patience and generosity of God, his crazy love.
“God so loved the world that he gave his only Son,” knowing full well what
his fate would be.*
