Today we confront challenges of biblical proportions. Pandemics, famines, droughts, floods and wild fires. Our environment and climate is changing mainly at the expense of human excesses. Lawlessness and discrimination are also front and center. It's a "me" society. Jesus tells the parable of the wicked husbandmen. Through God's grace, Jesus is sent to redeem the world and foretell his demise at the hands of the Jewish authorities. Moses received the ten commandments from God, a template to enter the kingdom of heaven. Live your life in accord with God's will and be faithful. God's kingdom will stand forever. Remember, you can't break God's laws, you can only break yourself on them. Believe and accept Jesus into your heart, to the glory of God. Amen
