Which son are you?

Matt 21 Little Ones Testify 

Jesus cares for the little ones and they care for Him. As Matthew is listening, he is noting the contrast to how the little ones honor Christ and the religious leaders scorn Him. So he tells them the parable of the two sons to get their attention. There were two sons and both were given a chore to accomplish. One said, I will do it and the other said I will not. The point being that God gave these religious leaders a job to teach the people about God but instead they did not. They only elevated themselves and not God. They missed the point of honoring and teaching them about God. They were like the one son who said I will go but he did not because he was a hypocrite. The other son said I will not but then changed his mind and went.He is the picture of the disciples and if truth be known, he is a picture of us. We say we will go and make disciples but we don’t. We are busy about many things but not the things of the kingdom. 

Today, consider which son you are. Do you honor God and serve Him and go and spread the good news or are you like the religious leaders who said they would but did not.
