Matthew 21
Quoting Psalm 118, Jesus condemns the chief priests in the temple who are questioning Jesus' authority. The challenge for me to consider is the extent to which I say I will serve yet I walk away and I don't....see the Parable of the Two Sons:
My Prayer: Lord, You word is truth and there is no other source of life here on earth except You. As it says in John 14:6, You are the way, and the truth, and the life. You are pure, perfect, holy, blameless and the name above all names. I can sit here all day and praise You but my praise is nothing. Lord I am not worthy of Your presence or Your love. Yet You love me anyway. Thank You Jesus for Your love and Your death...all for me. Please forgive me for my inability to love You with all of my heart, mind, soul and strength. Help me love You with everything I have. Help me please and glorify You with my life. Help me be the man You intend for me.
‘The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
the Lord has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes'.

“What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’
“‘I will not,’ he answered, but later he changed his mind and went.
“Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but he did not go.
“Which of the two did what his father wanted?”
“The first,” they answered.
Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him. v28-32
