Tara Lee Cobble: 本集节目主要围绕耶稣在前往耶路撒冷期间所讲的几个比喻和所做的一个举动展开。首先，耶稣用葡萄园和工人的比喻来说明上帝的恩典和怜悯，强调上帝的恩典是给予我们不配得的，而怜悯是不给予我们应得的惩罚。这个比喻也提醒我们，自以为是与神的孩子身份不相符，因为神的一切恩赐都是我们不配得的；与他人比较会让我们忽略真正重要的东西。此外，这个比喻也表明，进入天国的人可能会出乎意料，即使是那些在生命的最后时刻才悔改的人，也能得到同样的救赎。
接着，节目提到了耶稣咒诅无花果树的事件。耶稣咒诅无花果树，象征着对以色列不结果子的审判，因为他们没有结出属灵的果子。无花果树象征着以色列，他们没有结出属灵的果子，因此受到了审判。耶稣对以色列的现状感到心碎，这体现了他对以色列的失望和悲痛。
节目还提到了耶稣在圣殿中教导，并反驳了祭司长和长老关于他权柄的问题，指出他的权柄来自天上。耶稣用两个比喻（两个儿子和恶仆人）谴责那些拒绝他为弥赛亚的犹太人，强调言语上的顺服并不足够，必须来自一颗顺服的心。法利赛人虽然非常虔诚，但他们结出的不是属天的果子，而是属人的果子；属灵的果子包括爱、喜乐、和平等等。
最后，节目解释了耶稣咒诅无花果树，体现了他拥有生命和死亡的权柄，但他选择谦卑顺服，成就救赎的故事。耶稣的谦卑顺服彰显了上帝的伟大，完成了救赎，并将所有被领养的孩子带入他的国度。
Deep Dive
Why does Jesus curse the fig tree even though it's not fig season?
The fig tree represents Israel, which hasn't produced spiritual fruit. The cursing symbolizes judgment for its fruitlessness.
What is the significance of the parable of the vineyard workers?
It highlights God's grace, the danger of entitlement, and the futility of comparing ourselves to others.
What does the parable of the two sons teach about obedience?
True obedience comes from a yielded heart, not just verbal assent. Better late than never is better than false obedience.
What is kingdom fruit according to Galatians 5:22-23?
Kingdom fruit consists of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Why does Jesus allow himself to be arrested and crucified?
He submits to the Father's plan to magnify God's greatness, fulfill redemption, and bring all adopted children into the kingdom.
The parable of the vineyard workers highlights God's immense grace, the absence of entitlement in a believer's heart, and the danger of comparing ourselves to others.
- God's grace is unmerited favor, exemplified by the owner's equal payment to all workers.
- Entitlement has no place in the heart of a child of God as everything received is a blessing.
- Comparing ourselves to others distracts from recognizing our spiritual poverty and God's generosity.
