THE GIFT OF THE REIGN OF GOD Matthew’s Gospel today expands on Isaiah’s ballad considerably. A comparison with the same story in Mark’s Gospel clearly shows us that here the author is busy teaching this community of Jewish Christians: “This is a story about Israel a long time ago; this is also a story about Jesus and the skeptical leaders.” Jesus as much as told these Jewish leaders that they were the tenants who first stoned their own prophets. And he told the leaders they were the tenants who would soon even dispose of him—Jesus—and, in doing so, would forfeit their privileged place of presenting to the world the promised Messiah. “And this,” says Matthew’s Gospel, “is a story about you, the inheritors of what was first offered to Israel.” The reign of God was first opened to Israel and is now given to the whole world, but it must be received as a gift. The first Christians are the new tenants in the vineyard. The deeper reality of the reign or kingdom of God is that it is available to everyone on the face of the earth—Israel included.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel (Isaiah 5:1-7). Psalm — The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel (Psalm 80). Second Reading — God’s peace will guard your hearts and minds (Philippians 4:6-9). Gospel — The kingdom of God will be given to those who will produce its fruit (Matthew 21:33-43).

People can spread COVID-19 without knowing that

by getting tested. There is no up-front cost for testing. You do not need medical insurance to get tested, however, if you have health insurance, your insurance will be billed. You will receive a phone call if you test positive. If you test negative, we will send you a secure text message as soon as your result is available. Call (844) 421-0804 to schedule an appointment at any of the sites below: Antioch Pittsburg Brentwood Richmond Central Concord (Monument) San Pablo North Concord San Ramon Martinez Walnut Creek Pinole If you tested positive for COVID-19, you will need to stay in your home until you are well. This is called self-isolation. Deciding when you are well and able to leave your home depends on your symptoms. Protect the Public: • Stay home except to see your doctor. Reschedule any non-essential healthcare appointments (non-urgent doctor appointments, dentist appointments, etc.). • Do not go to work or school. • Do not use public transportation (bus, BART, airplane, taxi, UBER, LYFT). • Do not travel. • Do not go to the movies, to church, to a shopping mall or any place where lots of people may gather. • You can go outside in your own yard (not a shared yard). Close contact with a person that tested positive for COVID-19: Even though you may not feel sick, you must remain quarantined at home since you’ve had close contact with someone with known COVID-19. Quarantine is a way to prevent the spread of the virus to more people. You will need to stay home and monitor yourself for any signs of illness.
