Speaker: Dr. Guy Rathmell
Series: The Parables of Jesus
Description
In this parable, Jesus utilized mockery to demonstrate that the religious leaders of his day had criticized John the Baptist’s ministry for being too strict and austere and had criticized Jesus’ ministry for being too open or relaxed. His point was that truth will be demonstrated by the fruit it produces. In both of the ministries of John and Jesus, the common people came to repentance and faith, while the religious elites refused to believe.
