What does the Bible say about husbandman?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible uses the husbandman, or farmer and vineyard keeper, to portray God’s rightful ownership, patient care, and just judgment, while also describing the labor of those who serve under Him. In Matthew 21:33-46 and Mark 12:1-9, the vineyard owner represents God, and the wicked tenants reveal humanity’s rebellion against His prophets and His Son, whom God vindicates and makes the cornerstone. John 15:1 teaches that the Father is the true husbandman who tends Christ’s vine, pruning fruitful branches and removing those without true faith. First Corinthians 3:9 calls believers God’s field, reminding ministers and churches alike that all growth comes from Him.
