Cornerstone

Cornerstone

My Sunday Scripture 2008.10.5

Hear another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a wine press in it, and built a tower. Then he leased it to tenants and went on a journey. When vintage time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to obtain his produce. But the tenants seized the servants and one they beat, another they killed, and a third they stoned. Again he sent other servants, more numerous than the first ones, but they treated them in the same way. Finally, he sent his son to them, thinking, 'They will respect my son.' But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and acquire his inheritance.' They seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What will the owner of the vineyard do to those tenants when he comes?" They answered him, "He will put those wretched men to a wretched death and lease his vineyard to other tenants who will give him the produce at the proper times." Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the scriptures: 'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; by the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes'? Therefore, I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that will produce its fruit.


Matthew 21,33-43





My reading notes:

My question is: Do we human beings need a savior?

This is the question other philosophers have never answered.
(Including Zhuang-zi)
It is only in the Gospel that we learned we humans do need
a savior. Just like a house need a corner stone. We can not
imagine a house without a proper cornder stone. And all the
problems of the human race arises from here.

We tended to be weak and wrong. We need guidance from above.

This is what I have learned to day.
