28 "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.'
29 " 'I will not,' he answered, but later he changed his mind and went.
30 "Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, 'I will, sir,' but he did not go.
31 "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. 32 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.
Matthew 21:28-32
What about you? Will you go? The Spirit of God has been wooing you into His Kingdom through other believers, how have you responded? Have you pretended to believe like the second son but have not taken any steps of obedience that are evidence of your faith and belief? Or maybe you have made that most important choice of entering into the Kingdom of God and accepting Jesus Christ into your heart of hearts and now God is asking you to go, to make a life change for the sake of winning others to Christ – will you go? The Christian life is a daily decision to take up your cross and follow Jesus, it is a daily decision to be willing to listen to the call and direction of God’s Spirit and then to make the decision to obey, no matter what the cost. Our Heavenly Father is calling you this morning to go and make a difference in this lost world by reflecting His love to everyone that you might meet today, how are you going to respond? I pray that you would go and that you would live your life for the one who gave His life for you – you will be extremely glad that you did. Go now in His love and make a difference for Him!
