Commentary
Matthew 21: 33 – 43
The Vineyard Entrusted to Me
The landowner first “planted
a vineyard.” Next, he “put a hedge
around it, dug a wine press in it, and built a tower.” In other words, he took good care of his
vineyard. Only then did “he [lease] it to
tenants.”
(Today’s first reading from
Isaiah 5 has even a more detailed description of God’s care for the vineyard).
With such great care, God prepares
the vineyard that would be entrusted to me.
The vineyard can be (or includes)
my own wellbeing, both in this world and in the next, and the people God puts
in my life – family members, friends, co-workers, …
Besides, God sends help and
reminders (the servants and His Son) to assist me in caring for the vineyard.
How do I take care of the
well-planted vineyard that God has entrusted to me?
