Whose in charge?
Accept that Jesus is in charge and let him rule your life his way.
Reason for their questions is they don’t want to accept Jesus because it means they have to admit to being wrong.
I winder when you find it hard to accept that someone else is in charge?
Ever find it hard to admit you are wrong?
I had a teacher in school who used to send me out in every lesson
We all do at times.
What about of your life in general.
Who is in charge.
Mum, dad? You?
What about Jesus do you think he should be in charge?
In Mark we have been asking this question.
Mark says Jesus is good news, God’s chosen King, and promised rescuer.
Seen the miracles.
Heard his teaching and claims.
Last time we saw how he was the King who was promised 100’s of years before.
He was showing everyone around that he was God’s King - who rules over the whole world.

But people around didn’t like the idea that Jesus was in charge.
Religious leaders thought they were top guys.
Spiritual.
Thought God’s gift.
These were the guys who had read all the books - whole bible.
Memorised it.
They should have recognised who Jesus was.
But didn’t like idea he was in charge, because it meant admitting they weren’t.

I wonder - when it comes to Jesus - what stops you letting him be in charge of your life?
Maybe thats you at the moment.
Maybe you quite enjoy ruling it yourself.
Maybe that you don’t know if you can trust him.
Put of Mark we are looking at today we find Jesus surrounded by these religious leaders.
Asking him loads of questions - but didnt really want answers but instead wanted to trick him into saying something they could use against him.
Help us I want to teach you a little bit of Aramaic.
Owatta gu syam
Owatta gu syam
Help us I want to teach you a little bit of Aramaic.
I tricked you there.
Used my authority and trust worthiness to get you to say that.
Won’t do it again.
But religious leaders were trying to do similar to Jesus.
Asked him all these questions about life and God - but like multiple choice answers.
But either way Jesus answered they would be able to trap him.
You can read of their questions later in chapter 11.
But I don’t want to focus on questions - I want to focus on the heart behind them.
They weren’t really interested in growing in understand.
They just wanted to find a way to get rid of Jesus - because they didn’t want to accept he was in charge.
Passage today is a Parable - a story Jesus told to people who were trying to trip him up - people who didn’t want to accept that Jesus was who he said.
So they kept asking all these questions to try and trick him into saying something they could use against him.
Jesus knew what they were about.
Knew they were trying to play him.
So he told everyone around a story.
Let’s read it.
Jesus knew what they were about.
He told them a story.
Let’s read it.
Whats going on in the story - if you could sum it up in one sentance?
What do you think about the farmers of the vineyard?
- awful right.
Not their land.
Leased to them.
Imagine you go on holiday and rent a big room, but when hotel owner sends his staff to get money for the room, you beat them up!
Outrageous.
Farmers have leased this vineyard - with reasonable agreement.
They can farm it, grow vines - grapes, and do well of the land - as long as they give the owner his share of the crop.
So Farmer sends his servants to collect - and what do they do - mug him.
Beat him up.
send him back empty handed.
Patient Owner - sends another - they do the same.
Patient Owner - sends another- this time they kill him.
And this keeps happening.
What would you do if you were the Owner?
Owner thinks.
This time send his Son.
Son carries his authority and power.
surely they will listen now.
Surely they’ll not dare mess with him.
Now you prob have someone like this in your life.
The one you don’t mess with.
When I was in school there were some teachers you could push it with - but there was one that no one messed with.
Mr Turner.
He was scary, he was tough, and he was the debuty head.
Knew better.
HE was in charge.
He the owner sends his Son.
Should be no doubt - he is in charge.
Don’t mess with him - be kicked off the land, lose all your rights.
Or so you think.
