Who Will Enter the Kingdom?
This is a powerful piece of scripture.
Jesus argues with the religious folks and finishes up telling them that their good intentions and beliefs mean nothing if they don’t result in actions. In fact the ‘bad people’ who live repentant lives will enter the kingdom ahead of them…
Matt 21:28 “What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’ 29″ ‘I will not,’ he answered, but later he changed his mind and went. 30″Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but he did not go. 31″Which of the two did what his father wanted?”
“The first,” they answered.
Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. 32For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him.

This is powerful and makes us up. I wonder what this looks like in today’s church.
