• Matthew 21:28-32
  • The time to repent and obey is now.
    • II Corinthians 6:2
    • People heard, believed, and immediately obeyed the gospel. Many today want to repent later. There is not time to procrastinate!
  • In the parable, the critical issue is obedience.
    • Many of us profess to obey God much more than we actually obey God.
    • Genesis 6:22- The same example of obedience vs. disobedience was played out with Cain and Able and the people of Noah’s day.
    • Matthew 7:21- It’s not about who says, but who does the will of God.
  • In the parable, the cause of obedience is repentance.
    • II Corinthians 7:10
  • The critical question:
    • Where am I in this parable?
    • Do I say, “I go, sir” but go not?
    • Do I repent of disobedience and get to work?
    • Do I need to make God my Father?
