Henri J.M. Nouwen Quote
The owner of the vineyard, after having sent in vain several stewards to collect his share of the harvest, decides to send his beloved son. The tenants recognize that he is the heir and kill him to obtain the inheritance for themselves. This is the picture of the true son who obeys his father, not as a slave, but as the Beloved, and fulfills the will of the Father in full unity with him.
