Grace for your spirit April 25,2013

Grace for your spirit
But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, 'Son, go work today in the vineyard.' And he answered 'I will not", but afterward he regretted it and went.  The man came to the second and said the same thing; and he answered, 'I will sir', but he did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?

Jesus commented about the religious leaders he met saying that they honored Him with their lips, but their hearts were far from Him. Since Jesus knows our hearts, lip service really is a waste of time.  It is fairly easy to learn the right words to repeat, but words alone do not make us a disciple. Jesus also said, "Not everyone who says Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Let's make a new commitment to do our Father's will, and please Him.
