Sunday Scripture & Prayer Requests

Jesus is depicted with the Alpha and Omega letters in the catacombs of Rome from the 4th century. [PD-US]

Parable of the Two Sons

Jesus said to the chief priests and elders of the people:
"What is your opinion?
A man had two sons.
He came to the first and said,
'Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.'
He said in reply, 'I will not, '
but afterwards changed his mind and went.
The man came to the other son and gave the same order.
He said in reply, 'Yes, sir, ‘but did not go.
Which of the two did his father's will?"
They answered, "The first."
Jesus said to them, "Amen, I say to you,
tax collectors and prostitutes
are entering the kingdom of God before you.
When John came to you in the way of righteousness,
you did not believe him;
but tax collectors and prostitutes did.
Yet even when you saw that,
you did not later change your minds and believe him."

Matthew 21:28-32

  1. I just finished watching my online church and the sermon was based on this passage. It was an excellent sermon.

    1. There is much to learn from this parable. Are we the son who said he would help but didn't? Or the son who declined to help the father and then did? A lot to consider, for sure!
