Two Sons

In Matt. 21 Jesus tells a parable of two sons. The Father went to the first son and ask him to work in the field, he said no, but later he changed his mind and went. Then the father went to the second sons, who said yes, but then decided not to. Which son did what his father wanted. Of course the first. Then Jesus says to the religious leaders, "I tell you the truth, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you." But let me paraphrase what Jesus said for today, "I tell you the truth, the homosexuals and the those who perform abortions are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you"

The religious leaders were good at talking. They could talk religion in a way that could impress men, but at the end of the day they just did not do what the Father wanted. I want to be less about talking, and more about actually doing what the Father wants done. I think we might be suprised if we could really see who was pleasing the Father today. I want to join the kingdom . . . I want to go work in the field rather than talk about working in the field. I think it would please the father.
