When a person owns a decent portfolio of rental real estate, hiring a property manager makes a lot of sense. Historically, this approach has also been used in certain forms of agriculture as well. In Mark 12, Jesus tells a story about a man who owned land that he converted into a vineyard. He then leased that land to tenant farmers who would farm the land for him in exchange for a share of the profits. The story Jesus shared was about much more than entrepreneurship and economics, but He started with these concepts because they were familiar to those in His original listening audience.
And he began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a pit for the winepress and built a tower, and leased it to tenants and went into another country.” (Mark 12:1)
Jesus faced a lot of opposition during the His ministry. The majority of His opposition came from religious leaders who really should have been supporting Him. Quite regularly, Jesus would teach in parables to help explain concepts that these leaders should have understood. He also wanted to make deeper-level points that exposed the motives of these leaders’ hearts. As Jesus spoke of a vineyard that a man planted, established, and protected, He also referenced people whom this vineyard was leased to. Who do you suppose Jesus was referencing while sharing these examples?
