September 25, Gospel.

    A man had two sons;  he went two the first so annd said, " son, go and work in the vineyard today." He answered, " I will not"; but later he changed his mind and went.The father went to the second son and said  the same thing he did to the first son; but the second son replied  " i am going, sir "but he did not go"  Jesus said to them " truly i tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.




The father wanted  a Yes and to go and work right away. Both of them said, No, society always says, don't be afraid to say no. Well i tell you, be afraid be very afraid. God, wants us to say YES, YES, and YES. We are very scared to say YES because, we do not know, what's a head, what will this do in my future, And then we come to that quick conclusion of NO.This is indeed what the first Son was doing, He just didn't want to do work, because that what came to his head right away. But, then he thinks of it, and Goes and works.

 They both sinned. The first son, sinned in a " not so bad" way the second son however, disappointed his father more that the first, because the second son, claimed Yes he would work, but never did. He cheated on his father.

luckily, Jesus lived for three full years, for the way he talks to the people back then, You who already say Yes, the Prostitutes and tax collector, the Pharisees, will get into the Kingdom of God before YOU! I'm surprised they didn't try to stone him right there and now.


This story can be summed up into on of my favourite lines, form when i was a small child " It will be easier for the rich and poor, the left out and the disheartened, to get into the kingdom of heaven because they are the people treated the worst .... sadly.


We all at one point or another climb those stairs up into the narrow gate, and  then to the Gates Of Heaven and see the choir of angles, and finally see, what we all want to see, The Face of God
