Mosaic Boston

We're all tempted by the forbidden fruit. Often, it's not the fruit itself that irresistibly draws us, but the fact that it's forbidden. "Don't do this" is sometimes the only reason we're tempted to do. At the end of Matthew 21, Jesus tells the Parable of the Tenants. He reveals our innate suicidal enmity toward God, and graciously offers to save us from ourselves. He allows His destruction to save us from our self-destruction, thus providing the only means for our enmity toward God to be replaced with love.
