Two Pointed Parables (Part 1)
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In "Two Pointed Parables (Part 1)," Steve Gregg examines a pericope in Matthew 21 where Jesus is questioned by the Sanhedrin about his authority. The passage includes a parable about two sons, one of whom initially refuses to work in the vineyard but later has a change of heart and goes to work while the other initially agrees to work but fails to follow through. Gregg suggests that the parable highlights the importance of actions over words and emphasizes the need for individuals to demonstrate obedience to God rather than simply professing their faith.
