Which of the two did the will of his father?”

They said, “The first.”

Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.”

Matthew 21:31

In our gospel for Sunday, Jesus offers a parable of two sons whose father asks them to go into the vineyard.

The first says “no” but then does go, while the second says “yes” but does not go.

Jesus then asks, which did the will of his father?

Here Jesus makes the important distinction between knowing the will of God and doing the will of God.

Faith lived out in action is where we demonstrate God’s love, following the example of Jesus himself.

Join us Sunday as consider our intentions and our actions.
