Amid their doubting, the Lord reiterates His love for Israel. As Christians, it's easy to question the love of God, but it has been fully expressed through the Person and work of Jesus Christ, His Son.

Because of His selfless love. (Humility and sacrificial death.)

Because He is powerful. (Healings and miracles.)

Because He is real and He claimed to be God. (Not make-believe.)

What is baptism? Why do we do it?

The parable of the Two Sons is about the transformative power of true repentance. It challenges us to move beyond empty words and shallow commitments, urging a genuine, heart-level response to God's call. Emphasizing that obedience to God is not just about intentions but about actions that reflect a life fully surrendered to Christ, it highlights the eternal consequences of how we respond to God's invitation to repentance and obedience.

Jesus invites a crowd of people to count the cost before they make a decision to follow Him. They must be willing to sacrifice all that they own, the relationships that they love, and even their own lives for Him. Jesus demands our ultimate allegiance. We should consider both what we might lose by following Him, but also what we might lose if we don't.
