Who is He? It is the most consuming question. In the shocking story Jesus told (Luke 20:1-19), the vine growers surely did not know who the owner's son was. They thought he was just the heir to the vineyard. If they eliminated him they could have the vineyard to themselves. They'd be free to do what they wanted.
But no! He was the owner's "beloved son". One surely due respect. And who can fathom the pain to the owner when the vine growers not only did not respect his son. They killed him.
This is, of course, a prophetic word to the Pharisees. And they knew it. ("The teachers of the law and the chief priests looked for a way to arrest him immediately, because they knew he had spoken this parable against them.")

Lord, help us to know You - the real You. You are not an ideal that we try and fail to live up to. You are the love of our life!
