Ever said, “Yes, I’ll do that,” then never actually done it? We’ve all been there. Jesus’ story of two sons brings that uncomfortable gap between our words and actions into focus. A father asks both sons to work in his vineyard. One refuses, then changes his mind and goes. The other agrees politely but never shows up. Which one does what his father wants? The answer is obvious, even if the challenge feels personal.
It’s easy to say the right things about following Jesus. Actually forgiving someone, helping a neighbour, or admitting we’re wrong? That’s harder. The good news is that our first response doesn’t have to be our final response. We can change direction. We don’t need a perfect track record to begin listening and responding to God.
So here’s a question for this week: where could your actions turn a spoken “yes” into something real?
This week we continue our series looking at the Parables of Jesus Matthew 21:28-32
