The Third Week of Lent 2025 Waiting on the World to Change
In exploring this week’s “W” of Lent—Waiting—Diana Butler Bass* paraphrases Luke 13:1-9 this way:
Jesus said, “The Kingdom of God is like a vineyard of young trees. A wicked ruler seized the land and tried to cut down all the trees because they were not profitable. They added no treasure to his stores; he was eager for the wealth the land would produce. But the faithful gardeners refused to wield the ax. Instead, they protected the trees, enriched the land, and trusted the trees would bear fruit. The Kingdom of God is like that — a vineyard worked with patience and manure.”
