Jesus told many parables over the course of His ministry, teaching many things about the kingdom of God. But none was as poignant as the parable He told of His own impending death, just days away on the cross. Though He was God’s beloved Son and the owner of all creation, He was rejected and killed by the very people He came to save. But after three days, He would become the capstone: the rock of salvation who alone can save us from the crushing judgement our sin deserves.
