Blessing are to be used not kept

Late night because I am in bible school here in town and Mondays are going to be later nights for me. I am going to a little bible school here in Saint Cloud called Granite City bible school. It is a Baptist one that uses the KJV and that is ok. I am happy to go and expand my bible knowledge and for help in my study of the bible. I think one think I liked is we need to learn how to talk in the English. I am not the best on English and if I want to learn more and go to where I want to go serve I have to study the painful things and that is English because to be a bible teacher one has to know how to read better and better. So I might just add to this site a word study a day type of thing and that will increase our love for the bible because it is key to know the word. It is a fine idea. Maybe a bible word found in the king James or an English word that I learned and read for knowledge. If we expand our vocab we become better readers and that is going to help in studying the bible and we will become smarter. I also need better gr4ammer to make this blog better. I want to make this a fun place to learn for me and have you back to see more. I want to go into the word tonight in Matthew again. I might need 2 nights but that is ok here.

MATT 21 33 “Hear another parable: There was a certain landowner who planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a winepress in it and built a tower. And he leased it to vinedressers and went into a far country. 34 Now when vintage-time drew near, he sent his servants to the vinedressers, that they might receive its fruit. 35 And the vinedressers took his servants, beat one, killed one, and stoned another. 36 Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did likewise to them. 37 Then last of all he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 38 But when the vinedressers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.’ 39 So they took him and cast him out of the vineyard and killed him.
40 “Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vinedressers?”

Lets define the things here. Landowner is God the father and the place planted is Israel. God has built them from the beginning. Wicked wine dresser is the leader of the land. The sent were the prophets. Like John and Moses and Daniel. Painting the photo here God has built a place and lives in a far land. He sends the prophets to get his fruit and the men were treated badly. God’s servants are treated not to well are they? We ought to pay the workers fairly. In the bible God tells us his workers are treated not so well. Matter of fact Look in this passage

2 chr 36 15 And the Lord God of their fathers sent warnings to them by His messengers, rising up early and sending them, because He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place. 16 But they mocked the messengers of God, despised His words, and scoffed at His prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against His people, till there was no remedy.[1]
People always seem to reject the Lord and his worker to the point they kill them and mocked them. God sent many to allow the nation and the people to repent and when the Lord comes or the son of the father in the passage they did not turn to him. Jesus comes to get the people and save them and the leaders reject Jesus and this

41 They said to Him, “He will destroy those wicked men miserably, and lease his vineyard to other vinedressers who will render to him the fruits in their seasons.”

Jesus does destroy the leaders and takes their inheritance and gives it to more people like the gentiles and the people it was not for. He adopts all of the people and gives all the chance to live and serve the king. It makes for a lesion that people who are blessed ought to handle the blessing right and work on the work they are given. Ones that had the rights trashed them and rejected them and we all can get into the blessing. We take for granted the blessings we have like living in a place where the Bible is so free to be read and we are free to serve. People do not ever take his blessings to you for granted but use them. I go to bible school and I am able to hear the bible taught by great men and that is a blessing and I want to be grateful and I want to use it to bless others. Masters kids your blessed so use it for Jesus and take the word to folks that won’t hear it. If you are in a good church your blessed to. I think this is a key to us that serve and are training.

42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:
‘The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
This was the Lord’s doing,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’ ?
43 “Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it. 44 And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.”
45 Now when the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they perceived that He was speaking of them. 46 But when they sought to lay hands on Him, they feared the multitudes, because they took Him for a prophet.[2]

Leaders here are going to mock Jesus and they want to kill him but Jesus is not ready. He is about to die for them and us.
