As Jesus was telling His listeners the  parable we hear in today's Gospel, He knew that this scenario would be played out in His own life. He realized that the Pharisees were plotting against Him and most likely, they were planning on killing Him. This parable was a foreshadowing of what was to come. Were the Pharisees taken aback by Jesus’ questions? Were they surprised that Jesus confronted them as He did?

If we were in Jesus’ shoes, would we have the courage and trust to continue on His journey? This gospel makes it clear that even though  Jesus knew that He would be killed, yet He stayed true to His call. He continued to preach and teach.

Today may we draw the strength from Jesus to be true to our call---whatever that might be!

Jesus will walk with us, guide us and strengthen us! May we walk with Jesus today and every day!
