✦ MADE SIMPLE
Jesus started telling them stories to make his point. He said, 'There was this guy who planted a vineyard and did everything right — put up a fence around it, dug out a spot for making wine, built a watchtower for security. Then he rented it out to some farmers to run the place while he traveled to another country.'
