The Church as a Cherished Vineyard
Commentators universally agree that the 'vineyard' is a powerful metaphor for God's people, the Church. In contrast to the worthless wilderness of the world or the unfaithful vineyard of Isaiah 5, this vineyard is cherished, protected, and diligently cared for by God. This imagery emphasizes God's undeserved favor and constant, loving attention to His people.
