Why Do People Reject Jesus?
Matthew 21:37-39; People often reject Jesus not from misunderstanding, but from a deep-seated resistance to surrendering control. This parable illustrates the harsh reality that, like the tenants who killed the son to claim his inheritance, many refuse Jesus' authority to maintain their own perceived autonomy. This rejection is fundamentally about our human desire to rule ourselves, challenging us to confront our rebellion and submit to God’s loving governance.
