“What do you think? A man had two sons. Now he came to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’
“‘No, I don’t want to,’ he replied. But later he changed his mind and went.
“The father said the same thing to the other son, who replied, ‘Yes, sir.’ But he didn’t go.
“Which one of these two did his father’s will?”
They said, “The first one.”
Jesus said to them, “I assure you that tax collectors and prostitutes are entering God’s kingdom ahead of you. For John came to you on the righteous road, and you didn’t believe him. But tax collectors and prostitutes believed him. Yet even after you saw this, you didn’t change your hearts and lives and you didn’t believe him. (Matthew 21:28-32, CEB)
“Which one of these two did his father’s will?” Neither. Even though the first son did go and do what he was asked he out right said no and didn’t go for a while, and then after he felt bad about not doing it he went to do it.
The second one just lied.
God knows our hearts and what we will do. We can not hide from God.
Do not try to fool God.
Love as God does, with reckless abandon.
Loving People. Loving God.
