  2. How do we live as faithful disciples of Christ?

  3. 1 I will sing for the one I love    a song about his vineyard: My loved one had a vineyard    on a fertile hillside. 2 He dug it up and cleared it of stones    and planted it with the choicest vines. He built a watchtower in it    and cut out a winepress as well. Then he looked for a crop of good grapes,    but it yielded only bad fruit. 3 “Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and people of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard. 

  4. 4 What more could have been done for my vineyard    than I have done for it? When I looked for good grapes,    why did it yield only bad? 5 Now I will tell you    what I am going to do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge,    and it will be destroyed; I will break down its wall,    and it will be trampled. 

  5. 6 I will make it a wasteland,    neither pruned nor cultivated,    and briers and thorns will grow there. I will command the clouds    not to rain on it.” 7 The vineyard of the LORD Almighty    is the nation of Israel, and the people of Judah    are the vines he delighted in. And he looked for justice, but saw bloodshed;    for righteousness, but heard cries of distress.

  6. 6 I will make it a wasteland,    neither pruned nor cultivated,    and briers and thorns will grow there. I will command the clouds    not to rain on it.” 7 The vineyard of the LORD Almighty    is the nation of Israel, and the people of Judah    are the vines he delighted in. And he looked for justice, but saw bloodshed;    for righteousness, but heard cries of distress.
