Luke 20. 21.

Luke 20:18 „Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but ho on whom if falls will be crushed. “

A conclusion to the Parable of the Tenants which applies mainly to the teachers of the law and the chief priest. The relationship between the man who planed the vineyard and the farmers who rented it is just bounded by this contract. It seems that there is not a relationship on a more emotional basis. Only the contract which allows the farmer to be and grow on this land and afterwards to give a share of the fruits to the owner connects the two sides. This is what can be seen in the first verses (9, 10) It is interesting to see that from wherever you come (from the top or the bottom), if you are not a good fried with this stone and fall on or it falls on you, you will be crushed or break into peaces.

Luke 21:28 “When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

When all these troublesome signs happen we should not only see and recognise the nearing end but also see and keep in mind the hope we have through our faith. That we do not only see the bad things happening in this world but look beyond it and see what there is more and what everything means. In fact Jesus strongly recommend us to escape all that is about to happen (V36).
