The Rejected Cornerstone

The religious leaders in Jesus’ day were leading people astray and putting burdens on their backs that God never intended for them to carry. They were destroying God’s vineyard and not producing good fruit. In Mark 12, Jesus exposes the religious leaders’ evil and wicked hearts and reminds them of God's grace for them in the person of His beloved Son. And He accomplishes all of that by telling them a parable about a vineyard.
