537th Post Jesus Said Concerning Parables Con't. - The Parable of the Two Sons - Matthew 21: 28 - 31.

Matthew 21: 28 - 31, The Parable of the Two Sons - First Post.
But what do you think?  A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, "Son, go, work today in my vineyard."  He answered and said, "I will not," but afterward he regretted it and went. Then he came to the second and said likewise.  And he answered and said, "I go, sir," but he did not go.  Which of the two did the will of his father?
This was spoken by Jesus during His last week of Ministry before He was to be crucified.  This is one of a string of parables Jesus told during this discourse.  All the Parables have to do with authority.  Jesus told these parables because His own Authority had been questioned.  This parable is pretty straight forward, in that the man had two sons, he asked both to work in his vineyard, the first said no, but thought about it and regretted his answer and went.  The second said he would go, but did not.  It is interesting that both sons lied to their father, but the first son actually did what he was told.  Jesus has been teaching his whole earthly ministry on "How to Live for God and enter the Kingdom of Heaven."  I have run out of space will continue next post.
