The Parables of JesusSample

TWO SONS, ONLY ONE OBEYS
Here we have a short and succinct parable that challenges us to make sure our words and intentions match up with our actions. Too often in our lives as Christians we can use all of the right words in public but not follow through on those actions in private.

The life of a Christian isn't just in our words, just in our minds, just in our heart, or just in our actions. It's found in bringing all of those into unity to learn, obey, and teach others about Jesus.

If your internal intentions and external actions aren't lining up, don't hide behind phrases such as "nobody's perfect," "I'm not perfect, just forgiven," and the king of them all "only God can judge me!" Instead, repent of your pride, cry out for grace and mercy to be transformed, and allow yourself to be discipled so your internal and external can both glorify God.
