pam Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Jacob 5Quote for DiscussionEven as the Lord of the vineyard and his workers strive to bolster, prune, purify, and otherwise make productive their trees in what amounts to a one-chapter historical sketch of the scattering and gathering of Israel, the deeper meaning of the Atonement undergirds and overarches their labors. In spite of cuttings and graftings and nourishing that mix and mingle trees in virtually all parts of the vineyard, it is bringing them back to their source that is the principal theme of this allegory. Returning, repenting, reuniting—at-one-ment—this is the message throughout.Jeffrey R. Holland, Christ and the New Covenant, 165 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
