Matthew 21:28-32

“What do you think? A man had two sons. And he went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’ And he answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind and went. And he went to the other son and said the same. And he answered, ‘I go, sir,’ but did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes go into the kingdom of God before you. For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. And even when you saw it, you did not afterward change your minds and believe him. (ESV)

by Emily Graffius

Not only must we believe in Jesus, we must go, and we must serve Him in this world. We are not to sit idly by—professing Jesus in our hearts, alone in our homes—but we must take the extra steps to profess Jesus to those around us. Remember to stay committed to Jesus. An oath not kept to the Lord is not good. Fear the Lord and walk justly.
