“Doing The Will of God”
Tuesday, November 19, 2024Key Verse
“Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.” Matthew 21:31
Text — Matthew 21:28-31
Message
Jesus gave a parable of the two sons whose father sent to work in his vineyard. The first one outrightly turned down the assignment and said he would not go. However, he later changed his mind and went. The second son on the other hand, promised to obey but did not eventually go. Now, which of the two choices is better?
The answer the listeners gave was the first one. Jesus accepted that answer to show the purpose of His coming into the world. He came to call sinners who would repent and accept His offer of love. The first son realized this fact, quickly repented and did the will of his father. The will of God for you is to repent, turn from your sins and accept Jesus as your personal Saviour and Lord. If you are a church goer alone, Jesus is calling you to be truly saved. As the message comes to you now, there is but one thing to do; just obey and surrender your life to Him.
