Jesus told the Parable of the Wicked Tenants to the chief priests and the Pharisees and ended it by telling them "the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that produces its fruit." However, we can apply this parable to ourselves, since, as members of the priesthood of all believers, we are the ones that produce the fruits of faith.

Jesus is the cornerstone (the core piece of a building's foundation) upon which the Christian church -- composed of all believers -- is built. All believers within the Christian church are also priests, proclaiming the good news of salvation and doing good works (including making sacrifices and serving others) out of thanks.
